americanization

Americanization is the process of editing out offensive material in Anime and Manga from Japan, who's population isn't as uptight as the Protestants we have here, in the US. This often does NOT improve the quality of the anime. Cool action scenes (violence), descriptive language (expletives), intimate moments (nudity), and shounen/shoujo-ai (homosexuality) is often affected.
Americanization? You mean the castration, neutering, spaying, and female-circumcision process being used by VIZ Entertainment?

Radical Americanisation 

The spread to the rest of the world, particularly western nations, of the 'look at me' type of social behaviour perpetuated (and often glamourised) on US centrered social media. Examples can include when non US citizens use the American Constitution, FDA rulings, etc as a cornerstone for shaping their views on the internal goings on in their own countries, common crutch relied on by people many would consider 'conspiracy theorists' and others seeking validation through moral superiority.
"It's kind of sad how everyone is unfriending Ludwig" "Yes, his radical Americanisation has made him unbearable to be around. Who cares if the FDA has approved it or not? We live in Germany."

Americornization 

The process by which foreigners living in the US find their tolerance for cornyness significantly increased, i.e. by getting teary-eyed when watching a presidential address, developing a need to cry and tell your friends you love them on a daily basis, or by getting strongly emotionally involved in the Chris Brown/Rihanna affair.
Terry: Wow, did you see that exchange student tear up while Obama talked about the whispers of the dead soldiers in Arlington?

Americanisation 

Where somehow the unpleasant and unloving way of living life is somehow attractive and everyone else in the world tries to copy, ultimately making the world a much less nice place.
There is this guy in School. Everyone hates him but unfortunately he has loads of money, meaning he has power (that's how things work in the primitive economic world of the school yard) so everyone pretends to agree with him, and picks on the people he doesn't like.

George: I hate that like Iraqi kid.
Tony: Yeah! Me too!
George: Let's beat him up!
Tony: Yeah!

Eventually, all the other kids will gang up on the other guy and beat him up, and it'll be the ones that got really picked on - like the Iraqi kid and the Vietnamese one - who will be kicking him where it hurts. But when they kick him in the testicles, they won't call it that. They won't be kicking in the goolies, the couille, the ÿéöî, the Ei, or any of their traditional words for the gonads. They'll be kicking him in the nuts, and that's americanisation for you.

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."
