A British term denoting a play, movie or TV episode that features only two characters for the duration of the piece. Two-hander episodes are commonly seen in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders, where they've been featured occasionally since 1986.

In television, they're often used for faster filming, since while two actors are filming a two-hander, the rest of the cast can work on another episode. They're often slower-paced and more dialogue-based, with a focus on exposition and character development.

In a special two-hander episode between mother and daughter set the night before Tracy's murder trial, she and Deirdre exchange home truths and their relationship reaches breaking point when Tracy finally tells her mother what happened on the night of Charlie's murder.

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.

Whale

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."
