In first-person shooter video games, a potato is a person, normally a "noob", who gets on your team and has absolutely no skill at playing the game. Therefore, they get taken down very quickly when the match starts. A potato is only useful for those brief moments when they are being relentlessly gunned down by the enemy by providing a distraction so that the more skilled players on the team can counterattack or sneak up behind the enemy. A potato is useless in any other scenario that requires not dying and they will likely drag the rest of a player's team down with them when they beg for a revive. This potato revive scenario is also a countertactic used by highly skilled and experienced competitors who will camp out to shoot at anyone who comes near the downed potato. A potato's treachery, while unintentional, knows no bounds.
Player 1: "Hey don't revive BigfootsMilf69, he will only get you killed alongside him!"
Player 2: "Yeah, what a potato!"
A lazy bum with no purpose in life.
Last week I was a complete potato. I should do more with my life.
A person who is a spud. They have power and are well known, are able to get their thoughts and words to the masses. But what they say isn’t very intelligent or interesting.
There goes Eric Trump on Twitter again. He is such a potato. He kind of even looks like one.
