The tan one receives by commonly wearing ridiculously long shorts in the summer. Generally only males are rendered with this strange positioning of tan lines, primarily due to the popularity of basketball shorts which go down to only about six inches from the ground. Since only about half of the calf is exposed to sunlight it's the only part of the leg which becomes tan. When worn in conjunction with equally popular (and equally bogus) over-sized shirts, the resultant tan leaves the appearance of a pasty-white scuba suit worn by the afflicted subject.

Jill and Sally were at the local watering hole.
Jill giggled. "My boyfriend John always wears basketball shorts in the summer, so every fall he winds up with a scubatan."

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."
