Old Bay is the greatest spice on the face of this Earth (beating out salt, pepper, and Cavenders All-Purpose Greek Seasoning). Legend has it that it was developed by the gods as a seasoning for their seafood, but one of them accidentally dropped the can and it landed in Maryland. The Marylanders didn't know what to use it for, and so they tried it on everything and realized that it made the food better by an order of approximately 7.9331 magnitude.

In all seriousness though, Old Bay is Jesus to Marylanders. It tastes amazing on everything from crabs to fries. If you haven't tried it and find a can of it in your local grocery store (unlikely if you live anywhere more than 200 miles from the Chesapeake) and get it. You will not regret it.

It's a tasty seasoning if you're in Maryland, but an annoyance if you're anywhere else. If you're in a deli in New York don't ask the guy at the counter if he has any Old Bay for your burger. Everyone in line will think you're a tool.

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."
