These question is off topic, I realize this, but please bear with me.

1. What exactly defines a "script kiddie"?

2. Does using a port scanner make you a "script kiddie" since you

Using a tool somebody else wrote in an enlightened manner is good judgement

Waving a dead chicken exploit without understanding it is a script kiddie.
