Goldfish Fight Club 

A game created in 2016, where a student, in class on Friday, takes two goldfish crackers and squeeze sthem together to make them "fight". Whichever one breaks is the loser and thrown into a pile of crumbs, while the winner moves on to the next match. Once a clear winner is found out of the entire bag of goldfish, then he or she gets to take on the champ for an epic battle royale. During the final match, the official match theme of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes must play, and if a winner is crowned, the champ will rest for the week in a zip lock bag stapled to the wall. Never speak of this information out loud to any other student in school......because the first rule of Goldfish Fight Club, is that you don't talk about Goldfish Fight Club.
Parker ignored Mr. Keith's lesson in class on Friday, because it was an intense day for Goldfish Fight Club, and she wanted to see if someone could challenge the champ.

Drowning goldfish

Goldfishing

When someone is so fucked up, they head in one direction with a goal in mind but half-way there, forget that goal and wander off in a random direction with or without another goal in mind. Term comes from goldfish in an aquarium acting the same way due to their seconds-long memory.
He was so fucked up on mushrooms, he spent the whole night goldfishing around his apartment and never made it out to meet us.

We wasted a few hours goldfishing around camp before we even realized that we missed the burn.

goldfish by ilovegoldfish July 3, 2005
The purest little animals that swim around in large cuboids filled with water. When it comes to goldfish, opinions are rather polarising - there are really only two types of people: those who have an undying love and experience monomania towards those creatures, and those who openly dislike them as think that they're boring little lumps that open and close their mouths.

Far too often, they are portrayed in unfunny Youtube videos as memeable and clumsy things who only exist for the human race to laugh at.

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.
