cre8tive 

When parents give their kid a common name but spell it in an intentionally bizarre, ridiculous manner in a tryhard attempt to make the name exciting and creative. Named for the immature practice of replacing parts of words with numbers, as in "sk8r boi".
Staycee, Gennifer, Tyffani, Aydin and Maesun are all MUCH more cre8tive than Stacy, Jennifer, Tiffany, Aiden, or Mason.

A mocking description of "creative" misspellings of common words, usually used by idiotic teenagers trying to look "kewl." Vowels are frequently changed, extra letters are either added in or cut out, and similar to "l33t" speak, letters are substituted for similar-looking numbers and characters. There is an illegitimate argument that this is "text messaging" speak, but honestly, how much quicker is it to type "boi" than "boy"?
"The webmaster of the site had typed so cre8ively that I gave up trying to read her page after the first sentence."

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.
