Derived from the urban legend of Cpt. Tenne, this term is by its very nature undefinable as much as its namesake. Many endeavoured to define its nature, however constant lapses in consciousness have proved an obstacle in quantifying a specific definition, with some periods of lucidity which have yielded many confusing and offensive statements, gaffes and embarrassment, interspersed by lengths of time marked by dishonesty and lack of focus which have affected those entangled in its scholarly analysis.

Most of all, Tenne is a concept which embodies the fleeting nature of the human experience, how we're all searching for meaning and failing horribly at everything, embarrassing ourselves and offending others in the process.

Tenderfoot 

American slang dating back to the time of the old west. It was used by people who were established in frontier towns to describe someone new, either to the area or the prevailing conditions; someone lacking experience and who was perhaps a little naive. Mildly disparaging but without any real malice it is still used occasionally to describe someone who is just starting out on their chosen career.
Despite having been to university, you’re still a tenderfoot when you start in the workplace.

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.
