Joshplaining

Joshplaining /dʒɒʃ-pleɪ-nɪŋ/
verb (used as a gerund or present participle)

Definition:
The act of a person named Josh providing unsolicited, overly detailed, and often exasperated tactical advice, rules commentary, or backseat driving during a multiplayer gaming session.

This phenomenon typically occurs when Josh's frustration levels boil over while playing with a specific trio of individuals—usually named Alex, Aaron, and Matt—who are either completely ignoring his strategy or causing chaotic in-game disasters.
"We would have won that round of Search and Destroy if Aaron didn't trigger a three-minute episode of Joshplaining."

"Alex muted his mic because Josh started Joshplaining the meta mechanics of a game they’ve all been playing for five years."

"Matt threw a flashbang at his own feet, and you could hear the Joshplaining start from a mile away."

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."
