manchild 

An adult male who still posesses psychological traits of a child. Traits include, but are not necessarily limited to:
- whining
- pettyness
- trying to pass the blame for their own underdeveloped judgement
- not "stepping up to the plate" when it's their role to.
- secretly still finds 3rd grade bathroom humor amusing.
- is able to connect with his children, but only as another child, not as a father.
- not to mention an overall insecurity in who he is as a man, from which similar traits sprout.

The manchild, if married, is often found married to Type A women (usually firstborn or only child in their own family) who reluctantly yet aptly take up the slack for the aforementioned manchild.

This manchild will often attempt to augment their lack and/or compete with peers with material posessions such as:
- Harley Davidson Softtail with $30 do-rag
- Hummer H2 or similar oversized fossil-fuel guzzling behemoth
- 6 seat felt poker table with matching humidor
- The very latest electronic gadgets (digital camera, GPS handheld, etc.) to impress peers with.
These examples reflect some of the psychological traits mentioned above, and some that aren't:

Ray from "Everybody Loves Raymond"
Doug from "King of Queens"
Dad from "Malcolm in the Middle"
George Costanza from "Seinfeld"
Al from "Married with Children"

manchild 

Due to the general acceptance of 'manchild' as an unwanted negative stigma, let me offer an alternative take to the definition. A manchild is not necessarily bad, in fact it can be a good trait. A manchild could come to mean that the person retains childish aspects that are beneficial. For example, the childish aspect of being playful and finding playfulness in everyday sober life is beneficial to one's mental health. It could also imply the male individual retaining the "cute" and "bubbly" aspects from childhood that are often lost in adulthood (because of society's expectations for men to be rational and to hide their emotions). Furthermore, a manchild may still crush on a women and have infatuated feelings for them, and that's perfectly okay.

So in conclusion: manchild..... not a bad thing per se.
Me: Omg, my co-worker is soooo beautiful!! I think I have a crush on her. Like I'm legit obsessed.
Somebody: Are you a manchild? Just ask her out, maybe you'll get to fuck her some day.....
Me: If manchild implies being able to crush on someone, then yes I am. Sigh... why do you always assume that the end goal for everything is sex? Maybe I just like the ephemeral feeling of being infatuated, nothing wrong with that. It's like enjoying the journey more than the destination, you know what I mean?

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.
