BTU-saving entry/exit

Refers to a K1-saving action that you take during colder weather, and consists of rapidly opening the front door of a home/business only as far as you need to in order to quickly slither through, and hastily slapping the door shut again to minimize heat-escape.
Small barber-shop owner: Most of my customers don't seem to realize that it really costs me a pretty penny to heat my place of business... they leisurely take their sweet old time to amble in and out, and just let the door gradually close on its own. A few thoughtful/aware folks, though, do diligently employ the "BTU-saving entry/exit" procedure when passing through my door, and I really appreciate that.

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."
