Graving is the hobby of searching out specific graves for genealogy or curiosity of the rich and famous. Also includes the hobby of photographing quantities of grave stones to post on genealogical web sites, or to www.findagrave.com. Some think of this word as a slang word.
In the course of our hobby we would say we are going graving, implying that we will be in a cemetery taking photographs.

nasal graving 

"Nasal graving" is a term used when a person is so "nosey" that their noses become graven into every object they observe.

The term nasal graving is best explained as the antonym of naval gazing. Whereas navel gazing is defined as "excessive introspection or obsession with a minuscule issue (often missing the bigger picture)," nasal graving means "excessive extrospection or obsession with *every* issue (an impossible if not useless task) ."

Nasal graving is also the extreme version of nasal grazing which is a form of nosiness or obsession with other people's information. For example, a nasal graving person will not only be obsessed with everyone else's private matters but also try to understand every single piece of information in the world (e.g. trying to read every single book, understand every single stock-market fluctuation, learn about every single astronomical fact, etc..). While the imagery of a navel gazer is a person so obsessed with oneself (or a small single-issue) that they are caught staring at their own belly-button, the imagery of a nasal graver is a person who is so obsessed with every single external piece of worldly information that they find that their nose is now engraved in it. In other words, the nasal gravers leave their marks engraved on the objects of the world. The nasal gravings have become one with the external artifacts of the world (see GIF below for a real world example).
"I hear Damian turned his house into a gallery were he posts selfies with every new object he finds! What a nasal graver!"

"Don't speak to Judith, she's such a nasal graver that she will even rummage through dumpsters to see what people ate today!"

"Looks like Facebook's new ad services are trying to master the art of nasal graving by telling advertisers what they know about you."

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."
