One of the nineteen bosses in Cuphead and probably the hardest boss on Inkwell Isle One.

A part of the 'Innocent looking flower is a horrible person' cliche, which had started becoming a huge trend in video games manly due to a character to whom he's often compared with named Flowey, who was once formerly known as Asriel Dreemurr.

Though Cagney Carnation is a flower in an indie game, he is not Flowey from Undertale.

Person 1: Hey, have you played Cuphead? It's really hard as balls!
Person 2: Yeah, I have played it and it's difficult to say the least.
Person 3: You guys talking 'bout Cuphead? Who's your favourite character?
Person 1: Mine's Cala Maria; she's got that body and I love her first form!
Person 3: Mine's Baroness von Bon Bon; she's the perfect mix of difficulty and strategy!
Person 2: Mine's Cagney Carnation....
Person 1 & 3: Why? He's the hardest boss on Inkwell Isle One!
Person 2: To be honest, I am a fan of him not because of how you do strategy on that level or how he looks, it's just I find a lot of my own personality in him.
Person 1 & 3: Are you in love with him by any chance?
Person 2: No. I just like what personality is presented from him.

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

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."
