A small child given to running around screaming. Unlike well-socialized children, who only scream when under duress (injury, physical attack by a large snake) a screechling will emit earbleeding screams apparently just to hear the sound of its own voice. These are often found in small packs in shopping malls and supermarkets, usually accompanied by mothers who barely acknowledge the screechlings' existence.

"Gads, did you hear the little screechling in the mall elevator? I think it ruptured my left eardrum. I don't scream that loud during an orgasm for crying out loud."

For example: Bond movies, Bourne movies, Twilight Series, etc.

Michael - "I saw Salt."
Ann Marie "How was it?"
Michael - "It was good, lots of action, a few parts were 'stretchingly realistic' but good story though."

Neurotypical screeching

Non-autistic people getting worked up over something unimportant.

I see a celebrity who always says stupid things has said something stupid again and the neurotypicals are treating it like it's a big deal. What a load of neurotypical screeching.

Screeching Locust Blow

This is done when one places a Chinese whistle in their ass hole. The whistle holder is then assisted by their partner, who breathes heavily into the securely mounted whistle until maximum pressure is achieved. Then the assistant removes mouth from whistle and immediately punches the whistle holder in the belly. The force from the blow will create the sound of a screeching locust. This works even better when the whistle holder is wearing some fluffy angel wings and green goggles.

I was worried last night that I would wake the kids when I gave my wife/husband a screeching locust blow, but they managed to sleep right through it. It's a good thing, because that would be a tough one to explain.

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.

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."
