:lamer: /n./ [prob. originated in skateboarder slang]  Synonym
   for {luser}, not used much by hackers but common among {warez
   d00dz}, crackers, and {phreaker}s.  Oppose {elite}.  Has the
   same connotations of self-conscious elitism that use of {luser}
   does among hackers.
   Crackers also use it to refer to cracker {wannabee}s. In phreak
   culture, a lamer is one who scams codes off others rather than
   doing cracks or really understanding the fundamental concepts.  In
   {warez d00dz} culture, where the ability to wave around cracked
   commercial software within days of (or before) release to the
   commercial market is much esteemed, the lamer might try to upload
   garbage or shareware or something incredibly old (old in this
   context is read as a few years to anything older than 3
   days).



...interesante ;)
