1) A large hurricane is entering the Gulf of Mexico, interacting with the copious amounts of oil on the surface of the water, thereby creating Oilcane Alice, the first oilcane of the year.

Urban Dictionary Merch
an oilcano is the ongoing disaster taking place on the ocean floor in the Gulf of Mexico. Historically, oil spills occurred when an oil tanker leaked it's oily cargo onto the surface of an aquatic area. An oilcano occurs when a collapsed drilling platform crushes its pipeline and oil gushes oil straight from its reservoir deep beneath the surface of the earth, much like lava is known to gush from active volcanoes.
Todd: That oil spill in the Gulf is getting worse and worse everyday!
Gary: It's not an oil spill; it's an oilcano!

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."
