Schmo-motion 

Exclamitive of derision.
1) Painfully clumsy. Much like the "Smooth move-Exlax" line of yesteryear.

2)Uncoordinated and awkward motion, also an incredible exhibition of one's inability to get their "groove on" especially the dance floor.

3)Lame "mack" moves. An inabilty to impress members of the opposite sex with corny, cliche or otherwise bad pickup lines!
Tripping over your own shoelaces, one is derided by his peers with the phrase: Schmo-motion clumsy!

That dude on the dance floor got Schmo-motion, or else he's havin' a siezure!

Failing to get a hookup, your homies say to you: "Schmo-motion dog"! "She wouldn't give you a second thought".

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."
