"Gate Lice"

I'm not sure where to start this thread so since I usually fly UA, I'll begin with it here....
So, over the many decades I've been flying, I'm pretty sure I can spot what we like to call "gate lice" pretty readily. I beg to think that there may even be some who have seen me hanging around the gate area preparing to board and may have been viewed as a member of that group. My question is, has there ever been a formal or informal definition as to what specifically constitutes gate lice? I know someone in the final boarding group who hangs around the podium just as pre-boarding starts might well be considered but otherwise, is there a real definition? Just wondering.
Sincere thanks to all - -
