In programming, a coding standard where all variables are tagged so you can tell their datatype by looking at the name. Microsoft likes hungarian notation, I do not. It is useful when naming GUI objects though.

nonhungarian notation:
int number;
string name;
double value;
-------------------------
hungarian notation
int nNumber;
string strName;
double dValue;

hungarian notation

Refers to the programming habit of naming variables so that the variable's intended use is clear from it's name.

The original hungarian notation was first described and used by Charles Simonyi, a hungarian programmer who worked for Microsoft.

Using hungarian notation, a variable called a_crszkvc30LastNameCol would imply a constant reference function argument, holding the contents of a database column of type VARCHAR(30) called LastName that was part of the table's primary key

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."
