It's a person who fakes getting injured by an opponents move so that the other player will receive a foul and maybe even a yellow or red card.

Someone who falls over a lot, unnecessarily.
Essentially a player who will attempt to get free kicks or penalites by pretending to be fouled.

It's basically acting like you were fouled far more than you actually were. The video clip below shows what we are talking about.

well since you are asking...I would liken it to several basketball players who get fouled in the key...and fly across the court(Karl Malonecomes to mind QUICKLY)...but the foul itself was weak and maybe non-existant...some guys dive in the goal box ('a la Malouda) in order to get themselves a penalty kick they DO NOT deserve...
