Nouveau Teche 

Similar to nouveau riche, nouveau teche are non-tech companies that have very recently called themselves "a Tech Company".

They often talk loudly about buzzwords of the day like blockchain, AI, ML, Big Data, IoT. More prolific ones use chained combos to impress, like "we use Big Data IoT with Blockchained AI to drive our candle making business."
You got to be amused by the number of nouveau teche coming into the Bay Area these days.

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.
