The act of showing a very cynical or chauvinistic attitude about women online to try to look "alpha".
Black knights are often guys who are disillusioned as a result of formerly trying to be white knights just to get women to like them, and are now going in the opposite extreme thinking that women love jerks. Usually however they just come across as posers or internet tough guys.

Example of black knighting:
Guy 1: Last night I brought a bitch home from the club and didn't even buy her a drink, then I kicked her out of the house right after I splooged on her face.
Guy 2: Damn that's so alpha!

A pretentious film, movie, TV, or food critic. Has little to no real knowledge of film criticism, music theory beyond a few blurbs they read on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, etc yet gives condescending or trollish advice on internet message boards about how everyone else's taste sucks.
Often associated with hipsters or other "counter-culture" niches who think that dissing anything "mainstream" automatically makes them looks smart or "deeper" than everyone else, but in reality they end up looking more like a self-caricature.
Similar in many ways to the armchair philosopher, armchair comedian, armchair politician, etc. As a result of spending too much time online and having only very stupid people to compare themselves to, they develop a false sense of grandeur in spite of their mediocrity.

A person, usually an American, who gets all their information from mainstream media such as Fox News or CNN, or other corporate-sponsored media. This often leads to a case of Dunning-Krueger effect, since mediaheads view themselves as highly intelligent and informed simply because they think they keep up with current events around the world, but in reality they usually lack any real depth of knowledge, believe that anything they didn't hear on Bill O'Reilly or The Daily Show is false, and are viewed as silly by most of the rest of the world.
A mediahead probably still thinks that George Bush found WMDs in Iraq and that 9/11 only happened because Muslims hate us for our freedom, or that Donald Trump, who's best known as a game show host, is secretly an evil fascist genius who's leading a vast alt-right white supremacist conspiracy to re-instate Jim Crow.

A "lowbrow" version of elitism opposite of highbrow elitism, similar to populism.
Reverse elitism is when a person thinks they're better than others who have more wealth, social status, looks than them.
Examples include:
Low income or working class people who think they're more "tough", "manly", "down to earth", "generous", etc than rich yuppies or college educated hipsters because they do hard manual labor instead of sitting at a desk, or work 80 hours a week for low wages and are therefore "holier than thou" hard workers.
The fat acceptance movement has also lead some people to reverse shame "skinny people" calling them anorexic, or believing they look "fake".
In politics you'll see reverse elitism in both the Democratic and Republican party - with the Republican working class believing themselves more genuine or down to earth than liberal Ivy League snobs, and the Democratic working class believing themselves the "real workers" as opposed to those lazy country club corporate fat cats.

Reverse elitism examples:

A kid who's parents were irresponsible and had out of a desire for self-validation rather than a genuine interest in parenting.
Trophy kids are most common in the hood where overweight welfare moms have kid after kid just to validate their sense of self worth, and where deadbeat dads knock women after woman up without supporting their offspring and equate their manhood with the number of chicks they've gotten pregnant.

Negligent parents are known to share picture after picture of their kids on Facebook but loathe the actual responsibilities that come with parenting, because their kids are just trophy kids

When a person automatically dislikes a new version, sequel, or remake of a movie, TV show, or video game (usually without even trying it) just because it isn't "the original" version that they grew up with. This is especially common with older generations, as well as hardcore fanbases of some series (Star Wars and the hatred for the prequel trilogy being a notable example).
*Drew has a bad case of original-itis. Even though Daniel Craig's performance as James Bond has received excellent praise from critics , he refuses to even watch the new Bond films just because they aren't the old Connery films that he grew up with.
My English teacher's original-itis told the class that Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo + Juliet movie was a bastardization of Shakespeare's play. She was shocked when I informed her that Shakespeare's play was actually copied from on older Italian poem "Romeus and Juliet".

A term with a somewhat subjective meaning which refers to a man who's considered high in status or a paradigm of masculinity. Originated in 1989 by martial artist instructor Marc "Animal" McYoung.
How it's measured however varies a lot depending on who's using it.
Sometimes it refers to a stereotypical 'macho', gangsta, jock, or tough guy, other times it refers to a ladies man or playboy who has sex with lots of beautiful women, or other times a guy who's wealthy or socially powerful, such as a successful entrepreneur, CEO, etc.
As mentioned above often it's just used to refer to superficial and stereotypically "manly" qualities, other times however it refers to character traits independent from a man's material status, such as strength, courage, mastery, and honor.
A beta man is an average or below average man on the 'alpha' scale; either a guy who's not very socially respected or attractive to women, or one who demonstrates weak or spineless behavior in general, sometimes posers and fake 'alphas' get referred to as betas as well.

Chuck Norris is such an alpha man that he can have sex with any woman OR man he wants... of any species.
