Super serious conversation time.
A common term I've heard for years in Pathfinder - be it in Society play referring to agents, or simply the playstyle of a lot of people - is "murder-hobo." I'm sure most people have heard this before or at least understand why we'd be called such. But soon, we'll be in space, travelling on starships, going onto spacestations... The "hobo" part might not hold up anymore.
I personally propose we use the term in the future for any Starfinder shenanigans.
What other colloquialisms from Pathfinder do you think need sci-fi-ing for Starfinder? Things like "lawful stupid" could stay probably, but I'm sure lots of things we say frequently could use a space-y version for fluff and fun.

Just for fun (not really serious suggestions):
GM: Galaxy Master
Character Sheet: Datapad
Race: Species
Metagaming: Searching the Infosphere
Adventure: Simulation

I'd really wish they'd do that.

Same but at the same time, there's a good possibility that elves are technically humans because they can reproduce and produce fertile offspring, so would we still have to call them a race? Although they can't (that I know of) reproduce with orcs, who are in the same boat, which makes little biological sense from my (admittedly vague) understanding of biology and genealogy. So maybe they're technically their own species too.

Or humans/elves/orcs are one Ring species
Of course, Humans breed with pretty much anything in fantasy.
It had to be color coded (I'm to lazy to get my colorblindness glasses). To be fair Humans can't breed with anything. Only (as far as I can think of) polymorphed creatures (which doesn't really count as part of the species because you'd likely be changing your structure to one compatible to a human, hence half-dragons and various bloodlines), elves, orcs, half-elves, half-orcs, technically hags (though I'd put that in with polymorphing), debatably vampires (they're also technically human), dhampirs in rare cases (who's children end up always being human), genie-kin (if we're assuming magical abilities create a member of the species of the nonpolymorphed parent, they could be considered human as well), outsider-kin (same deal as genie-kin), and possibly skinwalkers.
To be clear, I say they're all from the human species because biologically the link that tends to connect all of them is a requisite human parent at some point in their lineage, or the ability to produce human offspring.

Futuristic dice sets are as follows:
1dTetrahedron
1dHexahedron
1dOctahedron
1dDecahedron/1dDecahedron (%)
1dDodecahedron
1dIcosahedron
GM: "You enter the darkened corridor. Roll your Icosahedron for perception."
Player: "My what?"
;)
"Only Hellnights deal in absolutes!"

"Watch out! Those space-murderhobos entered the space-dungeon to space-loot it!"
"We get it! You're from space!"
