Dunderhead

Definition: The first person to approach you privately - and say confidential things about the social group you have just joined for the first time - is almost invariably that group's dunderhead who is eager to make interpersonal inroads with someone who doesn't yet realize it.

See also: oddball, black sheep, misfit, weirdo etc.

Clunker

Example: if someone posts for the first time on page 236 of a wildly popular thread saying 'this thread is no good', then that post is a clunker.

Another example: if two posters are arguing back and forth about whether or not the Jehovah's Witnesses covered up child abuse, and someone who dislikes both posters and so interjects with the exhortation: 'you two get a room', then that post is a clunker."
