Psycho-magnification

Psycho-magnification is the process by which interpretations of events/thoughts/action get magnified or exaggerated exponentially (till a point at which it defies logic) as the thought passes through different psyche levels.

Process example : Person 1 to 2 : "Mike was stung by a bee"... Person 2 to 3 : "Mike was stung by a giant bee"... Person 3 to 4 : "Mike was stung by a giant man-eating bee and escaped only because Batman saved him."... Person 4 to 5 : "Mike is a giant man-eating bee and he ate Batman"

Mike's experience with the bee bite was subject to a brutal amount of psycho-magnification.

Past Nastification

Fry: "I did do the nasty in the pasty!"
Nibbler: "Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains. You are the last hope of the universe."
Fry: "So, I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?"

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

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."
