This area of only one square-mile features an Applebee's, Arby's, Baskin Robbins, Best Western, Buffalo Wild Wings, Burger King, Chick-Fil-A, Chuck E Cheese's, Courtyard By Marriot, Cracker Barrel, Crystal's Hamburgers, Drury Inn, Dunkin Donuts, Edible Arrangements, Firehouse Subs, Five Guys Burgers, Golden Corral, Hampton Inn, Hardee's, Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Home2 Suites, IHOP, KFC, Logan's Roadhouse, Longhorn Steakhouse, McDonald's (x2), Motel 6, O'Charley's, Olive Garden, On The Border, Outback Steakhouse, Popeye's Chicken, Red Lobster, Residence Inn, Sonic, Starbuck's (x2), Steak 'n Shake, Subway (x2), Taco Bell, TGI Friday's and Wendy's.

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."
