Void of independent thought, a Bug Man is compelled to purchase and consume unnecessary products they see on social media. It wouldn’t be an issue if they weren’t so incessant on YOUR need to consume as much as they do. Find your nearest Bug Man browsing Amazon or sponsored websites on Instagram anywhere people congregate. Bug Men have no sense of direction, no desire to stop to think whether they really need that cotton candy machine they found on Amazon or that overpriced Japanese mechanical pencil they will likely use only once then quickly forget about when they acquire their next product. If you see a Bug Man out in the wild you must stay away. Bug Men are known to reproduce through infection of the mind. Once you’re bit with the unyielding itch to consume it’s all over.
Lucas “Hey man you gotta check out this Brita Water Dispenser I just got off Amazon! It holds up to 25 cups of water AND it’s slim so it doesn’t take up much space inside your fridge! It only cost me $75 USD plus shipping!”
Mike “Why would you spend $75 on a water dispenser when you can just get a 5 gallon water jug for less than $10? You’re such a Bug Man for buying unnecessary shit.”

A man who likes eats hotpockets while handcuffed underwater.
" Bill, stop being a Manly Bug and help me move the earth over there."
A bugman is your typical big left leaning city dweller. He is usually obsessed with consumerism, lining up to purchase the newest iPhone or MacBook when it comes out, and using a smartwatch/smart home speaker for longer than the week after he bought it. Chances are he owns other throwaway smart gadgets as well. All his tastes in movies, music, expensive food, art, and more are determined by what review sites and blogs say.

Everything about his personality and life is not defined by who he is, but by what he buys and his consumerist tendencies. He'll be subscribed to at least one, maybe multiple subscription services, he'll happily use social media and upload all of his information to the cloud, and he'll gravitate towards things that seem "rational" and use big words.

In fact, their social media use defines a lot about who they are, as they try to get the most likes on social media bragging about their life and viewing the lives of others who do the same.

Yet there is something big missing about their life, something that can be seen in their face. Something that can be seen the minute you strip away all the consumerist choices and realize, there's nothing else. Their lives are empty, hollow, and all about serving corporations, until they die, and this is seen in their empty insectoid stare that implies they're dead inside, giving them the name bugmen.
Here we see the Bugman in it's natural habitat. Man sleeping on the cement gravel next to a Gamestop waiting to get a PS5: "Confused stare"Huh? What?

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."
