Oreo Effect 

When no one eats any more Oreos because the packaging prevents any more from being eaten, until someone else opens the packaging further, thus making everyone immediately want to eat Oreos once again. Also includes other snacks.

The same goes for those in college, when you are waiting to enter a class or leave a testing session. No one will enter/exit until someone else enters/exits first, thus starting the Oreo Effect.

The Oreo poo effect 

The next mornings bowel movement(s) after you eat an entire box of oreo cookies the night before. A study conducted on the Orea poo effect seems to suggest that eating a half brick of Old cheddar cheese can make the symptoms much more severe. The condition is chartesized by an initial release of hard black excrement, then a second wave of creamy lighter colored stool which is immediately followed by another hard black release. This condition is not to be confused with The shits Ahoy syndrome.
The doctor said he'd never seen such a bad case of the Oreo poo effect before in an animal.

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."
