Post Pornographic Stress Disorder (PPSD) 

Post Pornographic Stress Disorder (PPSD) is a trauma related disorder caused by viewing highly disturbing, sexually explicit material. People affected with the disorder usually have reoccurring thoughts, flashbacks, and, in extreme cases, nightmares related to the material they observed. Individuals with the disorder will feel extreme discomfort, shame, disgust, and, in some cases, arousal when having mental images of the disturbing pornographic material. This can cause the individual extreme discontent with their life, and must be treated properly.
Diagnosis Criteria:
1. Individual has observed highly disturbing pornographic material. The material must show genitalia/partial nudity, and be highly disturbing to the sufferer (individual's sexual preference, and sensitivity to pornography can cause different causes of the disorder).
2. Individual has reoccurring and frequent flashbacks, mental images, and, in some cases, nightmares related to the sexually explicit material they viewed.
3. Reoccurring mental images cause the affected individual extreme disgust, shame, and, in more severe cases, disturbing arousal.

4. The individual has had these reoccurring mental images for at least one month, and the flashbacks show no sign of diminishing or causing desensitization to the affected individual.

PPSD (Post Pornographic Stress Disorder) 

Post Pornographic Stress Disorder, or PPSD for short, is a trauma related disorder caused by viewing incredibly disturbing, sexually explicit material. People affected with the disorder will have reoccurring mental images, flashbacks, and, if unlucky, dreams of the disturbing sexual content they viewed (often by accident). People with the disorder will feel extremely disturbed and often (but not always) oddly aroused, when these mental images occur, causing them extreme stress and discomfort. Diagnosis criteria includes:
1. Having viewed disturbing sexually explicit material (individual's definition of disturbing may very due to different sexual preferences and/or sensitivity to pornography).
2. Have reoccurring flashbacks, and often nightmares, of the pornographic material.
3. Flashbacks and/or nightmares cause the individual extreme discomfort and often sexual arousal from seeing the mental images, causing shame.
4. The content must be "hardcore porn". Mild pornography with somewhat disturbing material cannot be a cause for the disorder.
5. The individual has been having reoccurring trauma from viewing the sexually explicit material for at least one month, and the disorder shows no signs of lessening or causing desensitization to the material.

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."
