David Gerrold 

a second rate writer based in the USA whose main claim to fame is writing the TV episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" for the popular STAR TREK television show. Recently he can be seen selling overpriced stuffed "tribbles" at various science fiction conventions he attends. They usually go for $20 each. He also has a website in which he asks readers to donate money for various personal requests (in the summer of 2006 it was to give his dog an operation the dog needed).
He has written some novels and short stories such as the adaptation of the planet of the apes movies into paperback format. I have met him and found him to be rude and arrogant to anyone who 1) also wants to be a writer 2) has anything good to say about Stephen King

(PS to Mr Gerrold: Stephen King is a DAMN good writer, instead of being so jealous of his literary genius realize that Mr. King worked his #$@#%$5 off to become that way. Why dont YOU do some of that instead of selling us those cheap overstuffed ear muffs you call tribbles at conventions?")

David Gerrold wrote "The Trouble With Tribbles" and has never let the world forget it.

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."
