Someone that clearly didn't do their research and jumps straight into historical debate. A person that parrots off "facts" they learned in their high school history class and pretends to know the thoughts, intentions and motives of historical figures. Someone who pretends to know history. These people typically think they are above everyone else intellectually just because they know a minute fact that has no application to the current conversation, as if it changes the whole picture.
Random person: "Why did Hitler lose to Stalin again?"
Armchair Historian: "Bro, like Hitler knew nothing about history. Napoleon invaded Russia and lost due to Russian winter. That means that Hitler was retarded because he invaded Russia and lost due to Russian winter."
Actual Historian: "Well that's simply not true, Germany was heavily outnumbered by the allies in WW2 and suffered constant attacks by British air on their infrastructure, making a total victory on the Eastern front nearly impossible. Not to mention Hitler didn't invade farther north than the Baltics. The Russians had even less supplies for their soldiers than the Germans did despite bombings on their infrastructure; the USSR didn't issue enough blankets or clothes for their soldiers on the front line to survive their own winter."
Armchair Historian: "B-b-but NAPOLEON! NO! NO. THAT CAN'T BE TRUE! RUSSIAN WINTER! COME ON! BELIEVE ME!!!!"

a person that likes to memorialize an event, a person's life, or a family heritage symbol in the form of a tattoo.
Craig is covered in pictures of dead relatives, his family crest, various flags and all of the dates and locations of the Van Halen tour in 1987. He is such a tat-historian.
A Alt Right/Right Winger that promotes or advocates Poitically based revisionism to condition fellow political supporters into rejecting inconvenient truths that would cause doubt in the right wing agenda.
The Stable Historian insisted that Fascism is a left wing movement.

A person who either researches the early beginnings of the practice of fellatio. or documents the quantity/quality of lips/tongue-pleasuring experienced/given by a certain person or group.
As much fooling around as Wee-wee Willie Wankie and Monica Blewinsky engaged in --- both with each other and separately with other folks in the D.C. area --- an oral historian could almost make an entire lifelong career out of putting down on paper the lurid/sordid details of the various trysts of just these two individuals alone!
