A pro-Russian journalist or Russian/Kremlin official who attempts to pass off fake quotes as real things said by government or military officials in Western countries but are clearly fake due to translated Russian phrases, strange wording, words being used in strange or unnatural ways, etc.
The phrase comes from an article written by Seymour Kersh, a pro-Russian journalist. In the article, he claimed an anonymous American official called President Zelenskyy of Ukraine 'a poor waif in his underwear'. However, the term 'waif' is extremely uncommon in American English, and the whole phrase was a Russian meme until the publishing of the article.
Seymour Hersh was a poor waif in his underwear when quoting his source, a supposed 'anonymous US official', who used the Russian idiom 'a poor waif in his underwear', which until then was not used in English.
Pro-Kremlin social media users were floundering like poor waifs in their underwear to dismiss the initial use of 'a poor waif in his underwear' as a mere translation issue without explaining why there would be a translation issue between a US journalist and a US official.

a person who has blown their cover as a Kremlin propagandist, especially when it is unclear they even knew they were one

A cheap way to find out what you may or may not have caught from having sex, comprised of having unprotected sex with a girl, then calling her a week later and telling her that your ex girlfriend called and said she tested positive for HIV. The fear caused by this little white lie will incite said girl to go get checked out. Within a week she will call you and let you know what you have or don't have.

Guy 2: "Why?"
Guy 1: "I've been with so many whores lately, I'd be surprised if I didn't have something, and I can't afford to go to the doctor to get checked out."
Guy 2: "Well now you can thanks to the Poor Man's STD Test!"
A upper-middle class or upper-class teenage boy that despite being born with wealth, he still feels empty, probably has a bad relationship with his parents, does not value the education he has, takes refuge in drugs or gambling, is the boyfriend of a frivolous girl who does not really love him or may also pay girls to be with him, may be vigorexic product of the low self-esteem he has and ends up marrying an unscrupulous golddigger.
- Look at James, he's out of the rehab clinic again. He got in there because he tried to overdose. His girlfriend never went to visit him.
- Damn, he's such a poor little rich boy.
