arousal repulsion cycling 

What a man feels when he is alternately extremely attracted to a particular woman's unimaginably hot body but also completely disgusted by her unimaginably ugly face. This generally produces disorientation in the first few episodes but can sometimes later reshape sexual attraction as the ugly face becomes a fetish of sorts.
"Hey Jake, check out the smoking hot babe walking down the beach."

"That one walking away?"

"Oh yeah I am going to go meet her right now!"

(Moments later) "Hey baby. my name's Tony." (She turns around and Tony almost throws up. She walks away only to appear smoking hot again. The arousal repulsion cycling continues on like this all day long.)

attraction-repulsion syndrome 

An unexpected about-face of feelings resulting in being repulsed by someone you had initially been attracted to.
You start seeing someone you had been crushing on, only to then start feeling creeped out by him/her when he/she actually starts liking you way more than you like them; classic attraction-repulsion syndrome.

Sudden Repulsion Syndrome (SRS) 

A condition many people experience after dating an individual for a short amount of time. The individual is probably polite, nice, and generally pleasant to be around, but one day, you suddenly find yourself disgusted by his or her appearance. You cannot ever see yourself establishing a physical relationship with this individual, and when you imagine it, you vomit in your mouth a little. The consequence of SRS is that you end up feeling as though you must break it off immediately.
"Hey girl, how are things going with that guy you were seeing?!"
"Ugh. Things were great until he had a booger one day and I experienced a sudden case of Sudden Repulsion Syndrome (SRS). I had to dump him immediately."
"Man, I hate SRS!"

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.
