Identity crisis 

When someone has been pressured to identify themselves, but is not yet self aware, by someone claiming to be an authority.

This often comes up with police trying to get your ID, school wanting to know about family and what you eat for breakfast, politics whating you to side with a party instead of refusing to get involved in party politics and be an issue based voter.

Not to be confused with sexualy orientation by way of identity, social identity in that how you look is not your identity but how other people precieve you and in turn treat you.

skank identity crisis 

The crisis every skank eventually goes through in their life. Usually happens between the ages of 15 and 20. Said skank will abruptly up and leave their hometown to live with a distant relative (i.e. twice-removed aunt, sister's ex-boyfriend, etc) and "find themselves". The location is usually an obscure small town in a southern state, such as Oklahoma, Kansas, or Georgia. Usually happens following some semi-dramatic event which a normal person would deal with and move on. Skanks, however, can not just "deal" with situations, and must "escape" to cause even more drama. These crises are usually short-lived, and the skank will almost ALWAYS return within a few weeks.

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."
