Nostalgia tax 

Price gouging of classic gaming consoles such as the Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo and other classic items based on the fact they have been discontinued long ago by the manufacturer. The spike in price varies by the seller. This is most often done by retro video game stores.

Similar to the term Drift Tax on the Nissan 240sx
Matt: I really want to get an N64 again. I miss those games I used to play.

John: You should go to your local flee market, you can get them for reasonable prices there and avoid that pesky nostalgia tax.

Matt: Good idea.

Nostalgiatard 

Grown adults who are stuck in past and think that decades like the 90s were flawless. They're founded everywhere on social media and they hate certain things and technologies just because it wasn't from the decade they grew up with, but if someone likes those things then the nostalgiatard will force-feed you dumb excuses and call you names. They appear in all kinds of medias such as music, cartoons, movies, books, etc. Most of them usually spam these "only 90s kids know this" posts on social media sites. They have a large habit of comparing old media to new media. The "90s kids" who constantly brag weren't even from the 90s and were born in like 1999 trying to look cool. They always say that the 00s+ kids had a bad childhood even though every decade had its flaws and often stereotype the younger generations. They're founded in lots of YouTube comment sections, especially music videos. Most young kids are also nostalgiatards who weren't even around in decades like the 50s or 80s. They really love to hate on games like fortnite, cartoons like teen titans go, and music artists like justin beiber and make hate art and send death threats to the people who like those medias.

Person 2: Dude those shows suck and you have bad taste!
Person 1: Ok nostalgiatard!

Their mostly millennials living in their mother's basement watching cable tv on their mother's old cube tv spending their lives ranting about cartoons like modern spongebob, TTG, on sites like YouTube oftenly saying that those who likes the cartoons they dislike have bad taste. Not to mention that they watch kid cartoons and rant about them but if you mention that they'll use the statement "animation isn't just for kids" it's true that animation could also be for adults but that doesn't mean you don't still look stupid when you rant about kid shows directly aimed for kids up to the age of 10 in your 30s. Lots of them are also enterbots and don't have their own opinions and blindly hate modern cartoons because other enterbots hate it.

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."
