Overly Sensitive Military Wife

See also "Dependopotomus." An Overly Sensitive Military Wife (OSMW) are just that: Overly Sensitive Military Wives. Typically, before their marriage to a service member, they have spent months scoping the pool for potential candidates. When she finds one fit for breeding, the OSMW pounces. Once married, she devours the military life. She will tell you how terrible and lonely it is being married to a service member, get a tattoo in his honor, be jobless, and enjoy the daily Hostess fatty cakes while sitting at home on Facebook.
Not to be confused with a Dependopotomus, although remarkably similar and typically concurrent-- they are, in fact, two seperate classifications. The OSMW may have, at some point or another in her marriage, had a job.

An OSMW can make drama over anything. ANYTHING. Go ahead and ask her about her endeavours as a small business owner ranging from Avon Representative, Mary Kay Independent Consultant, Passion Parties, Scentsy, or making of "brag bags."
Did you see that Overly Sensitive Military Wife punch out the 4 year old kid at the commissary for the last box of Twinkies? She moves like a Dependopotomus!

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."
