Microsoftize

A global or transnational corporation that desires/attempts to monopolize the global market, outsource valuable jobs to economically lesser developed regions/countries, and obliterate competitors within the same business sector. The prefix "micro-" is misleading, as Microsoft is not by any means a small corporation.
Microsoft Corporation has often attempted to Microsoftize the global market through their computer services, especially in the United States. As a result, several antitrust lawsuits have been filed against the multi-billion dollar corporation.

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.

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."
