Rfv-sense copycat. I can't see it in any other online dictionary, and I have never come across it. SemperBlotto 21:27, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I hear it very often used to express frustration over someone who plagiarized their idea or imitated their style. It is slang and I don't know if it has been used in printed works.Gtroy 21:45, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't think of a way to search for this that would avoid the other meanings of beater. Maybe something like "you're such a beater", would that work? Mglovesfun (talk) 23:21, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, maybe "He is such a beater"?Gtroy 20:36, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't understand this sense if I saw or heard it. Could you cite any actual usage that makes clear the extra sense as a synonym of plagiarist?    D b f  i  r  s   10:16, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
