Freshman year 

The first year of high school which usually ends up being an extension of 8th grade (middle school) because everyone's still friends with the same people and are still immature. Also freshman year tends to be the easiest year of high school because you're not at pressured to or can't take AP classes. And your core classes are much easier than higher grades. Because you're either 14 or 15 years old you can't drive in most states or get a job which limits your independence to go to parties, go to certain events etc. Also "upperclassmen" usually dislike freshman which makes it hard to be invited to these events. Overall freshman year isn't quite as exciting as other years in high school.
8th Grader: "Holy crap im going to high school next year! I'm gonna get hella girls and go to crazy parties!"

9th Grader "Hey, sorry, that doesn't really happen in your Freshman year.. only on TV shows.."

Freshman year 

The best year of high school. You’re fresh out of middle school and it’s not as bad as your teachers described it. The classes are easy and the teachers take it easy on you because it’s your first year. The only downside is that you’re the youngest in high school & the other grades might hate you. Freshman year is middle school pt 2. This is also the year where you make new friends and meet new people. Enjoy freshman year because it flies by.

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."
