A Dev Door (or Developer Door) is a level creator resource in the Super Mario romhacking community, and in the Super Mario Maker community intended to provide a more prompt and direct access to sections of a level of considerable length that are intended to be reached through the regular route in the final product. Mainly used during the developing stages of a level, Dev doors allow the editor to reach a part of the level that would otherwise take a long time to reach if they play the level from the very start point.

Dev doors became a necessity in Super Mario Maker in particular, as the game only allows for two checkpoints per level, while doors are unlimited. Ideally, dev doors should be removed, or hidden at the very least, before the level is published, and the presence of a dev door in a published level indicates a lack of oversight and polish by the level creator.

Huh, this creator left a dev door on his level... you gotta pay attention!

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."
