EN: keyboard warrior
This is that person who suddenly grows a backbone and the courage of a lion the moment they're behind a screen. They're brave enough to fight with strangers over politics, showbiz gossip, or basketball, but would probably just stare at their shoes if you confronted them in person. They are the soldiers of keyboard fights, armed with a fast internet connection and a lack of filter.
From English 'keyboard' + 'warrior'. A direct calque used in Taglish contexts.
Often used with a negative or mocking connotation.
