Bombay effect 

The Bombay effect is an extremely sad and unfortunate consequence of long term meth use. When a seemingly good hearted person subjects themselves to long term drug use, grandually they begin to change. They lose sight of their morales, values, beliefs, everything that made them, them. They become empty, cold, and callous. Unable to have any moral values or virtues that humans tend to have. They become lost. The bombay effect is what causes mothers to choose addiction over their children. Once a person succumbs to the effect there is no cure. They can't be trusted at any cost there's absolutely no hope because they have no core values or integrity. Betraying everyone even family is no exception. It's the final stage of addiction. Past the point of no return. You become cruel, ruthless and you feel no remorse or regret for your actions. They will have nothing and It's only a matter of time before they will reap what they sow burning all bridges. They will live and die alone desperate, depressed, and deeply anguished. Discontent with the way things turned out. Do not feel sympathy for as soon as you let your guard down they will double Cross and deceive you. Opportunity controls their loyalty. You just have to find solace in knowing you are better than that and you could do nothing to prevent it because they did it to themselves.
"I can't believe Destiny keeps using while she's pregnant and doesn't even try to get sober or raise the children herself. How many kids does she have?"

"Yea it's super sad and heart breaking I think she has 9 kids now, and not 1 of them will ever know what a mother's love is actually like because she suffers from the Bombay effect.

"Destiny used to be my best friend I trusted her more than anyone. And she betrayed me all because she let her addictions get to her!"
"Whoa there's plenty of addicts out there that don't stoop to that all time low. It's the Bombay effect that made her that way."

I have to change my life around and do whatever it takes to get my kids and let them know I love them, before I am completely consumed by the Bombay effect.

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."
