Define Hater Meaning

Hater
A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch.

Susan: You know, Kevin from accounting is doing very well. He just bought a house in a very nice part of town.

Jane (hater): If he is doing so well why does he drive that '89 Taurus?

Hater
Extremely overused and hackneyed catchphrase that people use when someone disapproves of something the user usually knows in their heart is shitty. Idiots like Kevin Federline, Paris Hilton, and their ilk go around doing their thing, and reasonable, working people who dispise them are labelled "haters" by the idiots (usually teenagers) who idolize them for no reason they could even name.

Me: Oh man, i cant believe kevin federline is on the VMAs

Someone: Come on man, dont be such a hater, you know you're just jealous.

Me: Die.

Hater
not a word but is still used far too much and each time is increasingly annoying. Said to be jealousy, but could be someone who just points out the stupidity in what someone else is doing, successful or not.

side note to people who use this term, just cause someone doesnt like a certain artist or person it does not mean they are mad they are successful- it might just mean they dont like their music and or style or how they go about things.

me- "man lil wayne sucks dick"

hip hop fan- "o yous a hater"

me-"actually he is a very intelligent person who doesnt use his influence on today's youth as wisely as he could."

hip hop fan- "o yous a hater man"

Hater
A person whose jealousy of another person success or achievements makes them verbally nit-pick any flaws no matter how small or just make up flaws in order to somehow try and belittle the successful person.

The term is more often than not used improperly to title a person who simply does not like something or someone because it’s not what they are into.

Hater
A person who pretends to act happy for your successes than trash talks you behind your back. Someone who most likely dosen't have shit to work with and has to hate on people who move up in the world. This term could be used to describe anyone who hates on another person for 'good reasons. They will turn your good qualities around and make it look like something bad because they just arent happy with themselves and can't achieve anywhere near what you have.

Man, that Vitale is such a hater. He needs to stop drinkin that haterade and move on up in the world.
