LARPie is a derogatory slang term for someone who participates in Live Action Role Play — carrying an air of mockery toward people who dress up and act out fantasy scenarios in real-world settings. It's the condescending cousin of 'LARPer', with extra dismissiveness baked in. Ironically, the LARP community has grown large enough that the insult has lost most of its sting.

Half the people at the park on Saturday were LARPies having a full-on medieval battle.
Origin: From the acronym LARP (Live Action Role Play) with the diminutive/derogatory '-ie' suffix appended. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
