Einigermaßen (eng. passably; somewhat) is a German term that has no real meaning. It is often used to make a concrete statement more blurry and vague. If someone wants you to make concrete statements or predictions, you can hush up the meaning of whatever you want to say by using "einigermaßen" in an inflationary manner. Nobody can nail you down on something you said, if you drop "einigermaßen" during the conversation. Most people doesn´t realise their excessive use of the word in their daily conversations, until someone makes them aware of it.

The term originated from the area of North-Rhine Westphalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen), which is a German state. Especially in the city Aachen and the rural area around it, the term is often said.

Student: "Jo JD, what do you think of my brand new Sneekers?"
JD: "Well, they look einigermaßen cool!"

Student: " Jo JD, how much is the fish?"
JD: "It is einigermaßen expensive!"

Student: "Jo JD, how did you like festival and what was your favourite band?"
JD: "The festival was einigermaßen okay and my favourite band was Leftboy. He was einigermaßen awesome."

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.

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."
