Also spelled "Poseurcore", the word is a rip on all of the bands that think they kick ass, but in real life, they're fucking poseurs. Examples include: Most bands with "-core" at the end of the genre name, all Emo bands, the Warped Tour lineup, and recent Green Day.
Coined in this conversation outside a Hot Topic:

Friend: "Dude, those bands piss me off! Come on, Christcore?! Metalcore?! Give me a break."

Me: "We should just group all those bands together and call it 'Posercore'."

Friend: (Laughs)

Posercore is an aesthetic used by people who can't fully settle on one aesthetic fully. It's an aesthetic that uses multiple parts of different aesthetics to make one. For example, if someone wanted to be goth but only liked the fashion of goth, and they also liked coquette, they would be posercore. Though, posercore isn't just mixing two aesthetics, there has to be a core part of atleast one of the combined aesthetics missing to make posercore.
"Wow, she's able to pull off posercore with two opposite aesthetics, sick."

"I wanna wear a posercore outfit today!"

poserworld 

Though there are a wide variety of "posers" in poserworld, the objective is simple: a person picks a celebrity and then "poses" or pretends to be that said celebrity. Throughout their time of "posing" (on myspace with 'legit' celebrity myspaces they create), posers become friends with other posers.

Essentially, it started out with teenagers who obsessed over the Jonas brothers and other Disney related celebrities such as Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus. They created myspaces claiming to be their celebrity of choice and there are still those who continue to "pose" today
85% of the poserworld population has admitted they were fake, come out and told their friends who they are, and still reside on myspace talking to each except they still use fake pictures (knowingly this time) and change their myspace names to their actual names.

Poserworld consists of formsprings they write in, tumblrs they create and bashing site drama from secrets and fake gossip being spilled around, creating tension and laughter from those involved and not involved.

It is an addicting place where once you come in as a young innoccent child between the age of 11-13, you still sit on the computer from age 14-18, stuck and attached to all your closest friends you meet on there.

There is poserworld dating, best friendship, and enemies.

Overall, we're all pretty much hypocrites and say we hate the place more and more everyday but still sit talking to everyone who is stuck in it too.

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."
