The Gongoozler 

A very SPOOKY being that hides in your pool only at night. The gongoozler will venture out into your chlorine liquid, and rest right before dawn, when it wakes and leaves. It takes the form of a half fish, half pre-pubescent man. It repeats his name, and is particularly interested in men named Mark Fishbach.

Gongoozler 

The gongoozler prefers the pitch black of night. It lurks in the deep end of perfectly normal pools (or oceans) that have only been heated for two hours. The gongoozler will heeeeeeeh swim up to you, take you by the toes, and bring you down down down into the frothy depths. The tail of the gongoozler is considered to be a mighty relic.

If you see a shadow in your pool at night, it may be the shadow of the gongoozler. If you have ever heard the call of the gongoozler you know death is coming. Memento Mori, friends. 33: 11: 51: 11
Mark better watch out swimming around in his pool at night, or the Gongoozler might grab him by his toes and drag him to the depths...dragging him further beyond.

Gone to rat shit 

This expression was in common use in the British Royal Navy, certainly in the eighteenth century, but is probably even earlier than this. As these ships were built of wood and powered by sail, emphasis was given to fire power and hull design and as a result crew accommodation and food storage were extremely primitive. This meant that foodstuffs were subject to attack and contamination by the numerous rats living on them. When this happened, the food or other stores, such as sails or ropes that had been destroyed by rats or so contaminated by them as to be totally unusable, would be described as having 'gone to rat shit'.
The expression became more widespread due to its use within the Royal Dockyards and still later within civilian establishments. Its meaning also began to change and expand so that it came to mean anything that had become broken, damaged or useless for any reason not just rat attack. It also began to be applied to people where it meant someone who had changed from being pleasant and personable to unpleasant and disagreeable. It is also applied to someone whose health is failing, affecting their appearance.
Some Americans believe that since Donald Trump’s election everything has gone to rat shit.

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.
