Successorize

I liked the word. It's above definition is apt, although it is a verb while the author described it as a noun. The example uses it as an infinitive verb.
Bitch! You're not successorizing! Your sunglasses are the motherfucking successorize! You should hit this joint like the stoner you are after wearing your successorize to a job interview.

Spiritual Sucessor 

A spiritual successor is a product which is similar to (or directly inspired by) another previous work, but (unlike a traditional prequel or sequel) does not explicitly continue the product line or media franchise of its predecessor, and is thus only a successor "in spirit" Spiritual successors often have similar themes and styles to their source material, but are generally a distinct intellectual property.

In fiction, the term generally refers to a work by a creator which shares similarities to one of their earlier works, but is set in a different continuity, and features distinct characters and settings. Such works may arise when licensing issues prevent a creator from releasing a direct sequel using the same copyrighted characters and names as the original.

The term is also used more broadly to describe a pastiche work, which intentionally evokes similarities to pay homage to other influential works, but is also distinct enough to avoid copyright infringement.

Successories 

Using lines from motivational or inspirational posters to spurr on or motivate an individual, usually during a sporting event or physical activity. The person yelling the successories is often very lazy and annoying and when they do this it incites hatred on the part of the receiver. Example of this is "Never give up" and "Eyes on the prize"
Peter on season 10 of The Amazing Race often did this to his partner Sarah, who had one fake, bionic leg.
Peter often shouted successories at Sarah while she struggled to do a very physical task and he sat there being lazy and useless.

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.
DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
