To describe the love of your life, or even more than that. Your world would turn into complete darkness or turn upside down without her.

It is in the opening sentence of Lolita the novel by Vladmir Nabokov / Lolita the movie, in which the narrator was obsessed with his stepdaughter which he named Lolita.

It is adopted by Lana Del Rey as lyrics in her song "Off to the races".

She is the light of my life, fire of my loins, I'm dead when she leaves me.

When you call someone this, there’s simply no other word to explain them. You love them to the point where you’re not afraid to be cheesy and call them your love.

Good morning my love
Ughhhhh you’re my love

My love

This is a boy who is so amazing and kind. Who will always be there for u no matter what. This is someone u want to keep because u will find no one better than him. He can make your whole day with just one smile. Without him u wouldn’t know what to do with yourself. This is someone who will love you no mater what. He won’t judge you for who u are. He is weird, and sweet. You really can’t put him into words because he is so thoughtful. Sometimes he may think bad about himself but you just have to prove him wrong. You don’t want to lose this person because if you do u will never be the same.

My love is so amazing!

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."
