Adina Howard Let me lay it on the line
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that the man has gotta deal with it
I don't care what they say
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
'Cause it's all about the dog in me, uh-huh

I want a freak in the morning
A freak in the evening, just like me
I need a roughneck nigga
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cause I'm that kind of girl
I've got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing

'Cause I will be a freak until the day
Until the dawn
And we can (pump, pump)
All through the night 'till the early morn'
Come on and I will take you around the 'hood
On a gangsta lean
'Cause we can (pump, pump)
Any time of day, it's all good for me

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."
