Short for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered/Transexual, and Queer. Refers to what I guess you could call sexual minorities, "queer" being used as a blanket term for the first four and anything else unusual.

We're sick of everyone calling things "gay" when they're mad; we're starting a GLBTQ club to try to cut this crap.

GLBT alphabet soup

Going over-board with adding letters to the traditional "GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Trans)" acronym to attempt to include every non-homophobic possibility. GLBT alphabet soup can become a very long, nonsensical acronym. It becomes nonsensical in that it is redundant. Queer, for example, is a rather broad term that has already been covered by the GLB part of the acronym. Trans-gender and transsexual are close enough to the same thing that it's safe to just refer to those people as "trans". Questioning is ridiculous, because it doesn't take that long to figure out if you're gay or straight. Most people know their sexual orientation at a very young age. Allies shouldn't be included in the acronym because, as much as gays appreciate their support and openness, they simply aren't queer. The whole point of the original GLBT acronym is to have an all-inclusive term to describe queer people, not their fan club. Intersex is too detailed for the acronym; as previously stated, the very purpose of the GLBT acronym is to have a universal, simple term to refer to queer people. There can be more letters added, but the example of the GLBT alphabet soup is enough explanation of the redundancy of this term.

GLBT alphabet soup example (these are not all of the letters that some people use): GLBTIQQA=Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Transgender/Transsexual/Intersex/Queer/Questioning/Allies

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."
