(Internet) To wait by a player's corpse to target them when they respawn, or when, after respawning elsewhere, they return to reclaim their equipment back from their corpse.
When you die in battle, you are reborn as a "ghost" in a graveyard and must return to your dead corpse to resurrect. Many players, after successfully killing your character, actually *wait by your corpse* so that when you resurrect (wounded), they can easily kill you again, and again, and again. This is called "corpse camping".
