Wookie

A technophile who hangs out on enthusiast forums, usually devoted to game consoles, home theater systems, or mobile phones. Like the Star Wars creature, they are hairy, bellow in an unintelligible language and beat their chests at the sky when companies displease them.

Wookies spend their daylight hours writing angry letters to PR firms. At night, they write negative reviews on ePinions and TripAdvisor. On weekends, they gather with their WoW clan and whinge on the Facebook wall of companies they hate.

A Wookie's most vicious form of attack is the phrase "I'll never buy your product again as long as I live".

IT Slave: "Legal sent takedown notices on a couple of modders and now a pack of Wookies are trying to DDoS us."

PR Slave: "Fuck 'em".
