French Caribbean Dancehall subgenre with a focus on sparse percussion, heavy basslines and lyrics revolving around partying and sensuality, often in Creole.
Shatta (derived from the Jamaican slang for “gangster”, though has taken on a wider meaning in Creole for good times in general) is a Dancehall genre born out of the local French Caribbean scene in the departments of Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana. Shatta typically features electronic dancehall beats with lyrics typically revolving around themes of partying, Caribbean culture and sensuality. These lyrics are most often performed in Creole, with English and French sometimes utilised as well. Most notably, shatta beats utilise very deep low-end basslines and minimal percussion or dembow rhythms.

The genre was first developed in the late 2010s from Jamaican dancehall, becoming popular backing music for local carnivals and parties in the area. Producers such as Lijay and JD would help define the sound further whilst shatta would reach wider cultural exposure through social media and fashion shows.

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."
