In the latest episode (ep. 8) the word "beater" is referrenced as if it applies to a multitude of players. This actually confused me a bit for the same reasons you posted, which is why I ended up Googling the term just to ensure I had a clear understanding of the words origin, but it does seem a little odd that the term become common knowledge thanks to Kirito alone.

Player: I see, he's a beater!

Kirito: Yeah, that's right.

Player: Asuna-sama, these people only care about themselves!

I haven't learned the name of this player yet, as I just started the episode, but the point is the definition here seems to be accurate, even if the logic is a little confusing.
