Meta-slang 

Meta-slang:

"Meta-" Greek preposition, commonly used in English as a prefix, of the same name which refers to that which is 'above' or 'beyond'; self-referential in nature +

"Slang" Words and/or phrases that are oftentimes more than not regarded as very informal in everyday conversation use

Noun: Refers to slang that is used in a particular way or context such that, the use of said slang itself in turn refers another piece of slang.

or simply put: Slang about slang

- Meta-slang is most oftentimes slang used as a word, acronym, phrase, action, or expression which itself refers to another piece of slang (that is similar in nature), which in turn (by definition of "slang") refers to a word, phrase, action or expression that is usually deemed unconventional or not proper/respectable in everyday, general public conversation when other such sufficient, knowable expressions or words could easily suffice respectively.

- Often used in witty, cunning, comedic, and/or unintentional purposes and contexts.

Ex) HAM: A slang acronym in English that stands for the expression "Hard As a Motherfucker". In turn, the expression "Hard as a Motherfucker" is oftentimes used as slang to refer to 'someone who puts a great deal of effort, energy, or passion into a given action or situation.' Therefore, the use of HAM can be then be viewed as an example of meta-slang.
John: "Dude, where were you last night? Brad was going HAM on this hot ass thot at the club the entire time! Later that night, he was sending me snaps of him banging her brains out!"

Adam: "Damn....that was some sick ass meta-slang you just dropped right there."

John: "What the hell is wrong with you man?! Were you even listening to 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."
