animal cruelty 

Cruelty to animals, also called animal abuse or animal neglect, is the human infliction of suffering or harm upon non-human animals, for purposes other than self-defense or survival. More narrowly, it can be harm for specific gain, such as killing animals for food or for their fur, although opinions differ with respect to the method of slaughter. It usually encompasses inflicting harm for personal amusement .Diverging viewpoints are held by jurisdictions throughout the world. Laws concerning animal cruelty are designed to prevent needless cruelty to animals, rather than killing for other aims such as food, or they concern species not eaten as food in the country involved, such as those regarded as pets.

Casual Cruelty 

Something that's way too common in high school. Someone who is smarter, more shy, has fewer friends, or is less athletic than the average person is more prone to receiving it. Even ordinary people to like to think of themselves as essentially good people tend to be casually cruel to people they think of as losers, and seem to have no moral qualms about doing so, despite the fact that they barely know the "loser", or that the "loser" has actually tried to be nice to them, and therefore have no true reason to hate the "loser". In their minds, the loser's social awkwardness justifies their cruelty to him/her. Until people can learn to treat others with compassion and the understanding that all are equal, this will go on, and countless teens will live miserable lives interspersed with thoughts of suicide.
1.) I try to be nice to Dennis since everyone else displays such casual cruelty towards him. He's really a good guy, but no one gives him a chance. Eventually, as our classmates grow up, they will hopefully mature and begin treating him with more respect.

2.) "Hey, Andrew. Need any help with that math problem?" asks the loser.

"Fuck off, fag." Andrew replies. "What's the answer to number 7?"

The loser decides to give Andrew another chance, and attempts to be nice to him. "The answer is x=3, which can be found using the Pythagorean theorem."

"That answer's probably wrong, you worthless shit-for-brains." Andrew replies. "By the way, you're ugly as shit."

The loser decides not to make a retort mentioning that Andrew happens to be even uglier than himself. He regrets attempting to be nice to him, and tries ignoring him as Andrew continues to insult him with an imaginative sequence of curses and yo-mama jokes. The poor loser is a victim of casual cruelty yet again.

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."
