Underweight 

A term which is supposed to refer to a body mass index of less than 18.5 or simply being in a healthy weight range but is overused to categorize what seems like thin people in general.

Ridiculous really, just because someone weighs a couple pounds under the fixed ideal number and is clearly healthy they seem to be branded with a word that makes them sound unhealthily thin.

Meanwhile if someone weighs anything OVER the fixed ideal weight they are never called overweight until they actually reach the BMI 25 mark. In fact, women are complimented and praised for having 'great curves' while if they weigh anything below that optical number they are considered 'fit for eating disorder diagnosis'.
Jim: "Well i guess I'm about 5'8 and I weigh.....150lbs?"

Doctor: "Sweet Jesus. Ideal weight for that height is 155lbs! You are clinically underweight. God have mercy on you Jim. I advise a high calorie diet and intense workout regime. You're body mass index is only 22.8 for heavens sake, build some self contr-"

Jim: "But I -"

Doctor: "Follow the obesity Jim. Being slim and healthy just isn't acceptable for any man Jim. A 33 inch waist is.....unmanly in my opinion. Its just not the American way. EAT! EAT! EAT!"

Jim: "Isn't obesity unhealthy?"

Doctor: "Oh so you're offending fat people now? Get out of my office, you....uh ...perfectly healthy yet underweight twig!".

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."
