Goblining usually relates to video games (in particular first person shooters such as Call of Duty).

The act of goblining involves tucking yourself away in a corner, preferably under or behind native flora such as shrubs or tundra (man made objects such as overturned fridges can also be used) and lying in wait for an enemy to run past.

Goblining is a legitimate tactic and is used to defend objectives such as a capped flag in domination or a planted bomb in search and destroy. It should not be confused with camping, which is a similar tactic - however camping involves ignoring the objective completely.

Man the other day I was playing COD4 and I went in to defuse the bomb and this guy was prone in a nearby hay field underneath a tractor! That was some epic goblining skills right there..

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...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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."
