In addition to what a purely literal reading of the word suggests ("the study of maps") it is also the ancient art of divination of future events through maps and charts based on geographical features of the real world. One who is trained in the practice of these sacred rituals is called a Cartologist. This honorable profession is not to be confused with the mere trade of the "Cartographer" who can only be considered a technician in comparison. A true Cartologist has been endowed with the skills to foretell one's path in life by observing the intricate geometrical figures on any kind of topographical map (that is reasonably accurate) depicting the subject's immediate surroundings at the moment of the soothsaying. It has also been described as "navigational forecasting" and "finding one's way" with the clear intention of alluding to the spiritual connotations of said expressions.

We're lost! We will have to consult the map. Is there anyone here who's been inaugurated to the cult of Cartology?
Let the Cartologist read the map! He will know where we're going.

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."
