Kafkaesque 

Comes from the author Franz Kafka, and refers to the style with which he wrote his books (which in his dying wish asked for to be burned).

Basically it describes a nightmarish situation which most people can somehow relate to, although strongly surreal. With an ethereal, "evil", omnipotent power floating just beyond the senses.
You go to the city to see the law. Upon arrival outside the building, there is a guard who says "You may not pass without permission", you notice that the door is open, but it closed enough for you to not see anything (the law).

You point out that you can easily go into the building, and the guard agrees. Rather than be disagreeable, however, you decide to wait until you have permission.

You wait for many years, and when you're an old, shriveled wreck, you get yourself to ask:

"During all the years I've waited here, no-one else has tried to pass in to see the law, why is this?",
and the guard answers:

"It is true that no-one else has passed here, that is because this door was always meant solely for you, but now, it is closed forever".

He then procceeds to close the door and calmly walk away.

This is in fact, one of his short stories, and is very typical to his style, i.e. kafkaesque.

“Karenesque” 

“When you see someone who acts like a Karen, looks like a Karen and feels like a standard Karen. Someone who reeks of entitlement and casual intolerance (no offense to the few kind Karens out there) and has the mannerisms that define and are synonymous with the name Karen”
Look at that girl, she’s so ”Karenesque”

Her names Karen? Well that does makes sense to me. She seemed so “Karenesque”

Kafkaesque 

From the Czech/German author of the early 1900’s, the word describes a situation where the individual is sane but struggles against an illogical and insane bureaucracy or authority. See his unfinished novel ‘The Castle’. Essentially all of us now that Brexit has been setting in for the last 2 years.
Theresa May’s government grows more kafkaesque by the day. I applied for British citizenship and all I got was a page full of wingdings

The government has become kafkaesque because some old Etonians couldn’t stop wanking over a long defunct empire even though colonialism is a fundamentally evil idea. As government slowly goes inane most civil departments are rendered impotent

“Karenesque” 

“When someone seems like a Karen, acts like a Karen, looks like a Karen, and smells like the same distinct odor as a Karen. That being the distinctive scent of mild intolerance and severe entitlement (with due respect to the good Karens out there)”
Look at that girl, she’s so “Karenesque”
Your name’s Karen? You look “Karenesque”

So you’re Karen? Could’ve guessed that, since you seem so “Karenesque” in nature

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."
