X refers to the sentence/context of the message you're replying to. (^) the direction of this symbol, will determend the direction of the message you're replying to. X^ means one message up to the right (usually your own message). ^^^^^X means 5 messages up to the left. This symbol can be displayed on it's own, usually this means that the person just wants you to look at this message, but it depends on the context of course.

X can be used in capital or not, you often don't even use X on It's own, but it can be used for directions if you don't have a/any sentence/context.

X^ and ^X or ^^^ are mostly used in chats for practical reasons:

I'm fine
Are you fine?

x^

(This conversation points to that you have all ready said that you're fine and you don't want to waste time on writing it again).

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.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
