Hotaling

A hotaling is the stupidest mother fuck alive; also known as a complete douche bag, one who is a pathological liar that sometimes doesn’t know what room he's in. One who has a big Jew nose and makes terribly unfunny jokes. One who eats everything in sight with ranch on it, if a cock was dipped in hidden valley he would go to town. In most societies known as a petifle, parents I would advise you to lock up your daughters in their rooms, age ranging from: there is no range who am I fucking kidding. One who has a strange obsession with punching everything within a 2ft radius of him. He’s under the impression that wearing socks and sandals is “cool”, not extremely GAY. So if you know a hotaling I would advise to stay clear!

"yo i just hotalinged that chick last night!"

"wow you sick fuck im going to call the cops!"

"'yo hotaling what is that white stuff your dipping your food in?"
"its ranch, my favorite!"
"Yeah, that sure is one of newmans own recipe! straight out of my hidden valley( a.k.a MY DICK HOLE)

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
