An electronic device designed to sequence sounds (kick drum, snare, etc.) to a pattern. Drum machines commonly have only 4 measures (with 4 beats). Drum machines are most commonly used by hip-hop and techno producers.

I just sequenced a kick drum on the first beat of each measure and a snare drum to the last two beats of the measure on my drum machine.

Five finger drum machine

2 in the pink, 2 in the stink and 1 to keep the beat.

I tried the shocker after I gave her a french horn but what really kicked up the tempo was the five finger drum machine.

Thomas: Yo I just got a female drum machine in my house. It sounds so awesome and satisfying
John: what do you mean
Thomas: so if I hit her boobs with my drumstick it will make a squishy sound if I hit her in the ass it will make a bass drum sound if hit her in the the stomach it will make a snare drum sound.

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."
