CyN1caL by Chaz Skyler May 19, 2003
someone who always expects the worst and most selfish motives out of everyone and everything. Otherwise known as experienced.
1. These charity adverts are a great way to fleece you for all your money. Those dudes living in mud was probably 50 years ago. They have schools now. And a sewerage treatment place.

2. Disneyland is great but I'm not waiting 2 hours to see ''sleeping beauty''. She's either made of plastic or some lazy cow who's paid to sleep in all day. Besides, one floor is hardly impressive for a castle.

The above are cynical examples.

Cynical Asshole Syndrome (CAS) 

Cynical Asshole Syndrome is a condition that makes the majority of things in everyday life seem shit and meaningless.

CAS usually develops as a person gets older but can occur from as early as birth.

It is believed to be linked to the following:

Popular Culture
Fucking Awful Hollywood Movies
Advertising
TV Shows such as X-Factor, I'm a Celebrity, Big Brother and Jersey/Geordie Shore
Paris Hilton
Mcdonalds
Insecurity
TV Soap Operas
Luck
Justin Bieber
Having your heart stamped on by an ex-partner

PTD (Post Travel Depression)
Having shitty parents
Trauma/Stress
Rebecca Black

CAS is infectious and can spread to other people. Infection becomes more likely to those that spend alot of time with a current CAS sufferer.

In extreme cases CAS can develop into Gothic Syndrome

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.
