Microtech

A tactical knife manufacturer founded in 1994, Microtech makes a wide range of knives, mainly for use by military and police, although some are popular to civilians.

They gained most of their initial fame for their OTF (Out The Front) knives early on, and were well known for their extremely high quality.

Some of their knives have been used in television shows, such as the HALO (High Altitiude Low Opening) in "24"

Microtech Knives continue to operate with a simple mission "To Make The Best Knives Possible"

Billy: Hey babe, check out this knife I got from the store, it cost me $250 *click*
Sarah: Billy, are you shitting me? That money was supposed to be used to buy flowers for old Aunt Delilah
Billy: Relax, I went into the flower shop afterwards and when I pulled it out to open a letter, the owner said I could have anything I wanted and to not hurt him.

I went on vacation to California and when the cop stopped me for speeding, he noticed a Microtech OTF clip in my pocket and arrested me.

Microtransaction

A method used by game developers, especially in hyper casual mobile games, where a game will be free to download, however users gain an unfair advantage by paying for in-game currency which normally is relatively hard to get. Sometimes games implement an in-game currency that's only obtainable by paying, whose only use is to be converted to a different currency which can then be used to buy items in the game. This is a very common trick where developers abstract money into in-game currencies so players are distanced from the consequences of buying it.

These tricks are most commonly used in games by companies instead of indie games since they rely on making money and for the most part don't care about the quality of their games.

While this trick being very known and frowned upon by the gaming community, developers still manage to trick enough people into paying in their games to keep their business going.

Microtransactions are ruining mobile games!

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."
