METHIONYLTHREONYLTHREONYGLUTAMINYLARGINYL … ISOLEUCINE 

Note the ellipses. All told, the full chemical name for the human protein titin is 189,819 letters, and takes about three-and-a-half hours to pronounce. The problem with including chemical names is that there’s essentially no limit to how long they can be. For example, naming a single strand of DNA, with its millions and millions of repeating base pairs, could eventually tab out at well over 1 billion letters.
METHIONYLTHREONYLTHREONYGLUTAMINYLARGINYL … ISOLEUCINE Is a very long word

Titin is the largest known protein in nature, playing a crucial role in muscle contraction and elasticity. It is a structural protein found in the sarcomeres of striated muscles, such as skeletal and cardiac muscle, where it helps maintain the integrity of the muscle fiber structure and assists in the passive elasticity of muscles during contraction and stretching.

Titin's full name, often cited as the longest word in the English language, is a chemical name that describes the protein's intricate molecular structure. Its full name is 189,819 letters long and represents the precise sequence of amino acids that make up the protein. Due to the extreme length of the name, it is typically abbreviated to "titin" for practical use.

This incredibly lengthy name is a systematic description based on the protein's chemical composition, specifically the sequence of its constituent amino acids, and was coined by scientific conventions for naming proteins in a highly detailed manner. However, because the name is so long, it is not typically used in everyday scientific contexts. Instead, "titin" is used to refer to this massive protein.
Titin ( also known as Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl… isoleucine) , is the largest known protein, plays a vital role in the contraction of the muscles and its elasticity by connecting the Z-line to the M-line in muscle fibers.

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.
