wants to date but nothing serious 

It probably means that the woman in question wants to go on dates with multiple guys but not be in a relationship with anyone specific. But please keep this in mind: ALL Women are fickle when it comes to the dating scene, so if you went on one date and it went well or she decided she had a crush on you, she'll change her mind and desires to be in a relationship with you.
ALL women that has the term "wants to date but nothing serious" in their dating profiles, it means that they'll date multiple guys. Even though these women go on multiple dates with multiple guys, they have no expectations beyond those first, second, third, etc. amount of dates. They always keep their options open. And they ALWAYS CONTROL the Dating Narrative, not the Men. Comedian Chris Rock was ABSOLUTELY correct when he spoke his famous QUOTE: "A MAN is ONLY as FAITHFUL as HIS OPTIONS." In the same way, WOMEN are ONLY as FAITHFUL as THEIR OPTIONS too. So it's only fair that we as men remember that too.

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."
