emo [emotional]

Emo is short for emotional. Emos are overly emotional people who are very sensitive and, yes, sometimes emo kids do cut themselves. Not to draw attention or any of that stuff that people make up because they hate the emo stereotype. Emo kids cut themselves because they're not in control of their emotions and they don't know any one way to handle it except to inflict pain on themselves.
Emo kids do fall in love. Probably more than most average people. They don't always hate everyone and everything the just have their good days, and their bad days. It just depends.
Yes emo kids have a unique and trendy style that people like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lavoto try to copy. But it is completely original.
Don't judge, emos listen to them. Usually they just want a friend or someone to talk to because they're going through a tough time. Help the emo kids to be strong and great like the cool people they really are behind the outside.
Extra emo emotional people who need hugs, lots and lots of hugs. XD

emo emoticon 

Similar in structure to the Pirate emoticon "P )" the emo emoticon replaces the colon and semi-colon in a standard emoticon with a capital "F" representing the cliche half covered face of an emo kid.

Since emo kids generally don't express many emotions other than despair, bleakness, rage, or indifference their emoticons therefore lack variety.

Since emo kids are never happy the happiest form of an emo emoticon is as follows:

F |

The standard indifferent form is: F /

Finally, the following characters should not be used when typing an emo emoticon since it would be contradictory to their nature: "P" ")" "]" "D" "O"
Guy 1 - Hey dude what's up?
Guy 2 - nm F /
Guy 1 - huh? what's up?
Guy 2 - I just broke up with my girlfriend so I'm using emo emoticons and listening to "Fix You" by Coldplay on repeat
Guy 1 - ah dammit not this again, well you should come to this party tonight...there will be alot of cute girls there
Guy 2 - F /
Guy 1 - Fine be that way...you suck all the fun out when you're like this

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
