Flashmob 

A flashmob is when a large group of people suddenly come together and perform some sort of action, which draws an audience very quickly. After they perform the stunt, the group of people quickly disperse.
Shay Carl, Kassem G, Lisanova, hiimrawn, mysteryguitarman, denisevlogs, and other people came together at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino to perform a huge flashmob. It is one of the best flashmobs on YouTube. The video is called "PHAMOUS PLANET HOLLYWOOD FLASH MOB!", uploaded on ShayCarl's channel.

Flashmob Sale

Unsanctioned, crowd-sourced 100% off sales on high-fashion clothing, handbags and accessories at stores such as Nordstrum and Neiman Marcus. Commonly referenced in mainstream media as "Grab-and-run robberies" or "organized retail theft," Flashmob Sales generally involve the redistribution of symbols of capitalist wealth in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars, taken from icons of retail excess and redistributed to those in need of a fashion upgrade for the holidays.

Rumored to be inspired by the Bob Dylan lyric, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and the make you king," the proponents of Flashmob Sales are under the apparent belief that if enough people steal a ton of items all at once, the internet will cheer them on and the police will simply go back to finding unarmed civilians to shoot for sport.
"Nice sweater? Is that made from recycled laundry lint?" "Thanks! Yeah, I got it a Flashmob Sale down at the Grove!"

Facebook Flashmob 

In a collective effort, facebook friends of one person steal and adopt his/her profile picture, and each tag the original owner in their new pic. Then the group then likes and comments on everyone's new profile pic, ensuring a barrage of notifications for the target person. Works much better if the adopted picture is in any way scandalous.

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."
