A relationship broakup (or otherwise simply known as a broakup) refers to the ending of a relationship, typically a bromantic one (see: Bromance). A broakup can vary from casual to emotionally traumatic. The cause itself can be related to a degradation of the relationship between bros (rolling back to "friends", or worse, to "acquaintances") or in the most tragic cases, to circumstances bigger than said individuals (i.e marriage, graduation, moving, etc.).

In case of a very abrupt and definitive separation, or when the broakup ends a very profound and intense bromance, the term "brovorce" may be more appropriate (see: Brovorce).
Jim: "Tomorrow Tom will move from our apartment. We shared it for 8 years, and tonight will be the last time we go out to party until there's not a single bar open and come home to drink the last shot before passing out. I feel like shit."

Andrew: "Cheer up, broakups can be bad, but i'm sure you two will still manage to do that every now and then, even if he's going to live 100 miles from you."

Drive-by Breakup 

The destruction of a relationship (any kind, including marriage) by one person in one of two ways:

1. Knowingly blaming everything on the other person, projecting and using every single nasty thing one can think of to hurt the other and destroy the relationship willingly.

2. Unknowingly blaming everything on the other person, projecting and using every single nasty thing one can think of to hurt the other and destroy the relationship willingly.

The result of either of these 2 sub-definitions is the same: the other person (the victim of the Drive-by Breakup) is in the equivalent position of a drive-by shooting victim: lying on the side of the street, bleeding out and mortally-wounded
"Wow. That drive-by breakup was really bad!"

"Man, I'm telling you, it killed him. Drive-by breakups are no joke!"

"Watch out, you're headed for a drive-by breakup if you hook up with that person!"

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.
