"A Tom" - A phrase used to describe a white cis heterosexual 5'11 lanky male. 'A Tom' was born with immense privileges, however, refuses to acknowledge or be aware that he was born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth. He navigates the world as if he is deserving of people's time and energy. 'A Tom' grew up a third-culture kid and/or immersed in cultural festivities that they believe make them special and better than other white cishet 5'11 lanky males. Confused in his identity or the historic violence of being a white man in spaces that are sacred to people of color, 'A Tom' may co-opt a chosen POC's culture as if it is their own -or- believe that he is a man of color and/or associates himself with these men of color. These individuals fetish and exoticize certain countries and/or places in the world and in turn the women in these places hoping to fulfill their fantasies of mixed-raced third culture kids that they could never be themselves. 'A Tom' personality is tremendous self-centered, egotistical, manipulative, and on the narcissism spectrum. 'A Tom' may act as an ally to POC, go as far as positioning themselves in this way but, their intentions are completely self-evolving and preformative to say the least.

A Tom was inspired by Tom Courtright. A true and utter "Tom"
"Why do these "toms" have access to our cultural heritage in ways we do not?"

"Look he is such 'a tom' with his African printed shirt and pants."

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."
