Sturm und Drang 

1. 18th century German literary movement that emphasized dramatic individual expression of feelings and the human experience, in opposition to the prevailing popularity of empiricism and rationalism. Literal translation is: "storm and drive," but "storm and stress" is the more common translation.
2. An idiom in literary circles referring to a collective dramatic reaction, usually with opposing sides. "Hue and cry" is an approximately equivalent expression.
All this Sturm und Drang obscures the facts of the matter.

Sturm Und Slang 

A crusade against rigid rationalism, the Sturm und Drang movement had always interested me as a writer. It marked an era in which self-expression was paramount, an era in which one’s darkest emotions and most triumphant accomplishments could be celebrated with explosive honesty and sincerity. It honed in on our desire to express our most troubling and persistent feelings without succumbing to the soothing detachment of empiricism and emotionless objectivity. Sturm und Drang, traditionally translated as “Storm and Stress” or “Storm and Urge” is thus the pinnacle of individual subjectivity and free expression.
She mastered the art of sturm und slang at a young age!

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."
