A theme in fictional works where a character who sees themselves as "impure" (common examples in erotic works are non-virgins, prostitutes, used goods, and damaged goods; common examples in non-erotic works are criminals, sinners, and people with zero sense of self-worth in general) is moved by the compassion of another character, hence "purified". The important part is that the impure character no longer feels impure, either temporarily or permanently.

Non-virgin: You shouldn't fall in love with me. I'm... not a virgin.
Chad: That doesn't matter to me. I love you, no matter what you are.
Reader: So this is purification... not bad at all...

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.

Whale

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."
