Peter Parker Syndrome 

The frustrating phenomenon where, no matter how much good someone does or how selfless their actions are, they always seem to get the short end of the stick. These individuals consistently prioritize others above themselves, sacrificing personal happiness, desires, or even well-being, only to be met with obstacles, heartbreak, or outright bad luck. It's as if the universe punishes them for their good intentions, denying them the rewards or recognition they truly deserve. At its heart, it’s a cruel irony: the more they strive to do right by the world, the more the world seems to turn its back on them. Whether it’s losing the person they care about, being misunderstood, or watching everything fall apart despite their best efforts.

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."
