Nov. 5th, 2018 08:42 amamatorculist (ay-muh-TOR-kyu-list, which is yes a hard stress to place) - n., an insignificant, hypocritical, or lousy lover.
So in order, the one who doesn't have a chance, the trifler with affections, or the bad in bed. This is an old one, which seems to have survived (barely) because it's in Johnson's dictionary. This is a Latin stem, amator, lover + -cul, Latin diminutive suffix + -ist, English suffix of person doing the stem.
