I didn't think You were being sarcastic.
LID definition is "a poor operator" is what I recall seeing in a ARRL book long
ago.
When in High School the Radio and Electronic Classroom was next to my Homeroom
and I hung around the Radio room until the bell rang to go to class.
Even before I got my Novice License I was called LID Vance.

The Day my Novice License came in the mail I was listening to the 80M phone QSO
where some of my School friends were in, so I called one of them on the
telephone to tell him my license came in. He told the group "LID  Vance got his
ticket.".

BTW where I said 80M phone I know it's called 75M phone by all Hams.
