Beat the case 

Contrary to the other definition,
Beating the case is not only getting away with a crime, because that implies that you commited the crime.

You can also beat the case while being innocent and not having commited any crime, thus falsely accused.
Feds incarcerated me for no reason, still i had to fight in court and prove my innocence.

In the end truth ruled and i beat the case!

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.
