A lurker is a person who... well... lurks. The person usually does this either because they're a lazy bastard who leeches off the community, or because they want to seem cool by lurking. This is quite common on Newgrounds and other hentai-related websites.

A lurker is also a Zerg unit from Starcraft. Internets users seem to think it is funny to mention this when the subject of lurkers comes up. However, this generates no lulz and only serves to confirm their nerdiness.

Lurker Below can lurk below. He lurks until he sees a piece of bait in his once deadly hot water, sometimes he decides to take the bait, when he does, he notices it's a trap and attacks the 25 victims who were just happening to be fishing in once scalding hot water.

When a person lurks, they may request that someone give them sauce, the people who notice the lurker may or may not want to give him (or her for you politcally correct fags, oh wait there are no girls on the internet) sauce. If sauce is given all will be well, if not all hell will break lose.
