Empathief

A blend of "empathy" and "thief," describing someone who hijacks others' emotions, particularly sadness, claiming them as their own and then demanding comfort from the original sufferer. This emotional greed manifests as an intrusive takeover of feelings, where the Empathief insists "all my feelings are mine, and all of your feelings are mine too," leaving the true victim drained and obligated to console them.

"When I told Lisa about my breakup, she turned Empathief, sobbing louder than me and expecting me to comfort her through my own pain."

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.

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."
