Prostopia means "near future". It's a portmanteau of the Greek prefix "Pros" (meaning near) and the common suffix "topia" (meaning land), such as in the words utopia or dystopia. Its primary use is in describing hard sci-fi showing an imminent future usually based on plausible technology (not fantasy or magic).
EX MACHINA is a cautionary tale set in a prostopia.
Mike Judge's brilliant film IDIOCRACY was meant to be a satire showing an absurdist far future. But given the mad idiots nowadays, I fear it's prostopian.

Very handy indeed
When I carry my protopipe around with me I never have to look for a poker, my bowl never spills, and I can carry around some extra sum-sum in the chamber for when the bowl gets cashed.

I love my protopipe

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."
