There's an old quote "you can choose your friends but you can't chose your family".

Most people have close friends that they consider family, someitmes even closer than actual family members. They call them their other sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin or parent.
Your friend marries a member of your family.

Your best bud is like a brother to you.

You consider your bff a family member.
if you're closer to your best friend than you are to your family members, they are your "friendamily"
Your children call your close friends Aunty and Uncle even though they are not related.
You have people that you think of as your other family members though they are not related. eg. You call your friends parents Mom and Dad.

Friendamy

A person that acts like your friend when it benefits them but would gladly throw you under a bus if it furthered their ends.

Did you hear about that conservation group that secured donations by claiming to collaborate to protect the environment but worked to marginalize groups that file lawsuits to stop pollution? Serious friendamy.

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."
