Can't kill them...

A person who has NO social life whatsoever. This is about 98.9% of everyone on the internets.

Etymology/Explanation

Without variation, the first accusation or retort of the pwned is that the pwnr has no life. This is normally phrased as a claim that the pwnr spends too much time on the Internets, or that the incidence of pwnage took "too much time" or "too much effort", clearly indicating that the pwnr is obsessed with and quite possibly Internet stalking the pwnee. The pwned may also attempt to put on a facade that they are "too cool for this internet shit anyways."

Because this is almost the exclusive standard usage of the phrase, no life has become a de facto acknowledgment of pwnification. Thus most trolls will remain unsatisfied until told they have no life.

Fanfiction

The author of this story.

My eyes glaze over as I stare at the unnatural florescent glow of the computer monitor. Suddenly, I realize I've had to urinate for 5 hours now. I was so entranced in my game of Warcraft that I never noticed. I stagger off of my chair, which has a hole worn in it from my fat ass grinding against it for almost 3 years straight. I limp into the bathroom and turn on the light. I glance into the mirror and stop. Something caught my interest. I looked into the mirror, at myself, into my eyes - my tired, limp, lazy, dull, lifeless eyes. And in that moment, reality hits me like a stone in the head; I have no life left, for the Internet has sucked it away, into the virtual world, gone among the billions of ones and zeros...I have no life...
