spoiler whore
A girl (typically a crazed fangirl) who cannot get enough of her particular brand of show crack (ie merlin,grey's anatomy, etc) And spends most of her waking hours(or tries to at least), despite the fact that she has a REAL life and has things to do; looking for any possible info regarding said show. Specifically on forums where she can get her daily dose of spoilage.
Typically spoiler whores are people (girls) who can never get enough info and when we do we are forever speculating and eventually end up writing or reading fanfic to get our satisfaction. :)

You: "Where are you in the series? Has Hermione been killed yet?"
Friend "Wft dude! I didn't know she dies."
Much later, friend discovers that Hermione actually lives.

Another example...
"Tyler made me think that the whole story took place inside of a dream, but apparently it was an anti-spoiler. Bastard!"
. . .
Pepper enough anti-spoilers into conversations and you'll no longer be at risk of accidentally spoiling something, because no one will know if they should take you seriously.
