privatism 

An educational system whereby all public schools are eliminated and replaced with private schools. In a privatist country, only two types of education systems exist:

1) Private School system
2) Home-school system

In a privatist country, all parents have to pay extra money but the money comes into beneficial use.

Results:

1) ALL students are marked fairly.
2) ALL lazy teachers are fired.
3) ALL schools have excellent facilities.

Sadly, a country has yet to achieve privatism.
Privatism is beautiful.

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.
