the laney young effect 

Aight, so let's kick it off with this wicked tale, fam. Once upon a time, there was this soul-sucking demon named Laney Young. Now, she wasn't your regular demon, nah. She was mad into boys, but every now and then, she'd switch it up and go after women too.

Laney was notorious, man. She didn't just snatch souls, she'd take their ego, well-being, and even their dignity. Ain't nothing left when she was done.

Now, let's talk about this one dude, Travis. He was just another notch on her belt, but after one night with Laney, homie was never the same. He turned all evil, started acting possessed and stuff.

Folks started calling it the 'Laney Young effect'. It was like she left a mark on him, changed him in ways no one could understand. Travis wasn't Travis no more, he was just another victim of Laney Young.

But you know what's really twisted? Even though everyone knew what she was capable of, they still got drawn to her. Like moths to a flame, man. That's the power Laney Young had. It's a cautionary tale, for sure. Always keep your guard up, 'cause you never know when a Laney Young might cross your path.
"Bro, I've been feeling crabby as hell recently"

"Dawg that's just the Laney Young Effect."

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."
