Not making this up; lrn to internets before you try this again. ore often then not the kid who white knights ends up being attacked more than the original poster.
White Knight
A person (usually a male) who sees the typical maiden in distress, and believes that he can help her. A male version of the "mother figure" that some girls become.
"Why is he going out with her? She's broken, and a little crazy."
"The fool's just being a White Knight."
white knighting
In forum parlance, it means rushing to the aid of another poster for whatever reason. An accusation typically reserved for when a poster is being hammered by another poster(s) and the accused leaps in to defend them, usually without thinking things through as to why the person is being attacked.
Poster A: <Says>
Poster B: Shut up, douche.
White Knight: Hey, leave him alone. Why are you all ganging up on him?
Poster B: Quite white knighting, douche.

again, not an insult; just avoid white knight syndrome in the future if you dont want to be a target.
