tardigrade amnesia 

When you get so drunk you somehow become impervious to any sort of physical harm, and survive the strangest and most dangerous encounters, without remembering any of it. Named after tardigrades, small animals that can survive in almost any conditions, even in the vacuum of space.

Tardigrada Skasick 

Very much like that of a Tardigrada, but not really as cool...

Skasicks, or skittles as they are sometimes called are attracted to such animals as redheads and when a Skasick finds a redhead it likes it makes awkward stuttering noises and lame jokes.
To catch a skasick you must make a statement that can be answered with "That's What She Said" Then you can club it and skin it. Skasick skins don't really go for much more than half a penny.

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.
