Keyboard Cowboys 

The ultimate code slinger. Wild, impulsive, living on the edge and taking risks without worrying about the consequences. May or may not singlehandedly take down a corrupt government to aid the public.

Derivative from the 1995 film hackers starring Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller.

"You wanted to know who I am zero cool? Well, let me explain the new world order. Governments and corporations need people like you and me. We are samurai, Keyboard Cowboys and all those other people out there who have no idea what's going on are the cattle. Moo."

If the internet was the old west, than the Keyboard Cowboy is it's, well. . . Cowboy.

Keyboard Cowboys are the people you see bring lawlessness to the Internet, Cowboys behind their computer screen on tapping away at the Keyboards. Picking on people, submitting crazy definitions to UD. The bulk of Keyboard Cowboys are manifested in 4chan like an old smelly saloon for them to meet and discuss their antics. They are trolls, post gore, and taunt the shit out of people.

Also hackers
Pirates
And the people behind Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Keyboard cowboy 

A person whose only reason to participate on an Internet discussion board is to argue and be combative, oftentimes joining just to add a pointless but hurtfull comment then to leave never to be heard from again until the topic nearly dies out and then jump back in to fan the flames. They seldom if ever add anything of substance to any discussion they participate in, but instead just troll various forums looking for a fight -- stirring the pot with no rhyme or reason.

Tread1 is the king of the keyboard cowboys.

keyboard cowboy 

Someone that goes FUCKING CrAzY behind a Twitter post or email or text but is totally harmless and rather sweet in real life.

The keyboard Cowboy walks in and says

“I need to see you immediately”. Walks into the room…. “Hi! How are things?!”
