Show Towel 

(Noun) A versatile accessory taken to events such as concerts and festivals. It serves multiple purposes, including wiping away sweat during energetic performances and marking personal space on crowded grounds, similar to a blanket. Show towels are practical for attendees who want to stay comfortable while enjoying their favorite artists.
At a Phish concert, Davey frequently pulls out his show towel to wipe away the sweat from his body while dancing with abandon, fully immersed in the vibrant atmosphere.

Show Towels

Towels hung at certain times of the year in the bathroom by the wife, mother, or female of the house to confuse the hell out of the Husband, son, or males in the house. These towels are meant for show only and are not to be used at all by anyone living in the home or guests that may come over. If they are used, the wife, mother, or females of the house will flip out on the husband, son, or male of the house that used the towel.
Female: "Ok who just used the Christmas towels in the bathroom?

Male: "I did. Why?"

Female: "NO YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO USE THOSE TOWELS ! USE YOUR HEAD! USE THE OTHER TOWELS YOU MORON!

Male: *Gives a very confused look and asks*

What the hell? Why not?

All females in the house respond: BECAUSE THEY ARE "SHOW TOWELS" YOU IDIOT!

Show Towels

Towels hung strictly for show or decoration, meant to enhance the beauty and appearance of the bathroom. No one, not even the residents of the home, are allowed to use them. Guests are also not allowed to use them as they are strictly decorative in nature. Other less decorative towels should always be provided for functional use by residents or guests in a show towel home. Show towels often feature appliques (such as satin seashells or butterflies), elaborate lace trim, scalloped edging and, at the very least, should color-coordinate with the scheme of the bathroom. Show Towels are the cause of much debate in online communities.

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."
