All thumbs has always meant clumsy, but it has new meaning in the age of hand-held smart phones. The term now relates to a poor speller in text responses. Given the relative small size of keyboards, and the fact that people are texting only with thumbs, this can lead to many typos. These typos are often compounded with auto-correct, making them worse. 'All thumbs' seems to plague guys with large hands more than women.

"I eill meer you at 7om on Qalnut Streer"

Frank: Did you get a load of Matts text response?
Seth: Yeah, man, he's ALL THUMBS!

creeping thumb-all syndrome

Severe pain in the thumb of each hand due to texting with hand-held devices that can send and receive email. This condition will creep up on the user over time and cause reduced motion of the thumbs. In severe cases, the user may loose the ability to communicate.

Bummer, I can barely text anymore as my creeping thumb-all syndrome has damaged my thumb joints.

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."
