HUA is the vocal grunt that goes with the "fist-pumping" gesture, usually resembling someone pulling down on an overhead handle, that usually indicates success or satisfaction. This in turn evolved from a pantomime of dominant rear-entry sex, resembling someone pulling something toward their midsection with both hands.

While used sometimes at sporting events by spectators and players, "HUA" has been adapted in widespread use in the U.S. Army to indicate solidarity (usually agreement but not always). Common retronyms include "Heard And Acknowledged" or "Head Up Ass" as well as the folk etymology "Who, us?" Has been heard as "oo-rah" in the late 80's/early 90's.

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."
