Cellar-dweller

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

A cellar-dweller is not to be confused with a basement-dweller. Although a person can be both, they might also be one but not the other. Some people are neither, but this article is not about them.

A cellar-dweller might claim to live on the main floor of a house in that they occasionally sleep there, eat there or fetch food from the main floor. The cellar-dweller might even own the house. However, cellar-dwellers remain in their cellar or basement most of the time because they have chosen to abandon the outside world for the inside world of fantasy tabletop battlegames, similar online or computer games, or some other extremely time-consuming hobby like counterfeiting, manufacturing drugs or raping the shit out of your secret prisoner.

Cellar-dwellers the world-over rejoiced in 1998 when death punk band Antiworld wrote a song just for them, entitled 'Cellar Dweller.'
