Sister Syndrome 

... is when a guy and a girl are very good friends, and extremely close, spending most of their time together. Eventually, the girl says "I think I love you", or in some way tries to make the relationship a physical one, and the guy simply doesn't feel about her that way, because he "Thinks of her as a sister."

Hence: The Sister Syndrome
Girl: Listen, Guy, I think I want to make our relationship between us a romantic one, I want to be more than just friends.

Guy: Ew! Sorry hun, I think we've got a case of Sister Syndrome!

Little Sister Syndrome 

In which a guy tells a girl who's obviously got the hots for him that he "thinks of her as a sister" or "she's a little sister to him," so as to blow her off lightly.
This is sometimes considered offensive and rarely considered an actual compliment, as the girl usually knows that this means that he doesn't see her as date-able.
Used frequently on friendly yet ugly girls.
Sam: Oh, Bertha, you're so cute!
Bertha: Really, you think so?
Sam: Oh yea; you're like a little sister to me!"
Bertha: Oh...

*later*

Sally: Sam complimented you?
Bertha: Yea, but then he ruined it via little sister syndrome.
Sally: Jerk.

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.
