Mexican Ounce 

A true ounce is 28.5 grams. A Mexican Ounce is 25 grams (not 24 grams as incorrectly defined above). The reason the measurement is shorted is because it is easier to divide and multiply by 25 rather than 28.5 when converting between imperial and metric measurements. That way when it is split from larger quantities like kilos or pounds, it divides into even smaller quantities and there is no remainder.

For example:

1lb = 16oz = 400g (true measurement of 456g)
1kg = 40oz (true measurement of 35.2g)
Johnny: I went to Hector for an ounce and when I weighed it out it was 25g.

Robbie: Damn! That's only a Mexican Ounce. Last time we buy from that dude.

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."
