Nickname referring specifically to the southwestern part of The Bronx and perpetuated by artists, which reflects the area as a burgeoning hotspot for large and affordable spaces, warehouses, etc. in which to create artwork.

Inspired by previous areas of New York City that formerly housed nascent art communities with affordable spaces: SoHo in Manhattan (South of Houston Street) and DUMBO in Brooklyn (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass).

1. The south part of brookline that borders West Roxbury. Primarily a rich community of kids that steal alcohol from Putterham Market, get with freshman girls, and have parents that pull in $5mil ever year, but the fact of the matter is that some of the five-person homes in sobro are cheaper than ones in other parts of brookline. In sobro, there is also the large, mediocre condo complex hancock village. Most of the people that live there are Koreans who are working in america for a year and want their kids to go to a good public school, but there are also many in hancock village who can't afford to live elsewhere.
Famous spots: Putterham Market, Mandarin Gourmet, and Cheryl Ann's.

2. South Bronx. Totally different story.
1. I live in sobro, my parents make $15,000 a year, I don't drink or do drugs, and I'm a decent kid.

2. I live in the South Bronx, also known as Sobro.

Based on previous definitions, Sobro is a place only a high school student could care about or take pride in. It would appear to be occupied by a number of pretentious spoiled youth with nothing better to do than attempt to impress people on the internet.

It's also a place where apparently a lot of people have yet to learn that in real life, no one cares where you went to high school or what town you came from. If you're lucky you'll live in a backwoods-enough place that people might "respect" you for you last name, but only if your rich daddy lives there too.

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.
