Outlier

Someone who considers themselves rather special. A snowflake with more than a hint of maverick pretensions propping them up. Often politicians who consider themselves quite unique and gifted.

Hell, look at that outlier taking that massive new wave way out in the Bay! He's been riding waves since pre-school. He can't read or write good, but he sure can ride the surf.

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.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.
