To disregard/abandon/ditch a person or other entity. The word is actually an acronym for "a man for his own".

Origins of the term:
"Amfho" which came about one sweltering afternoon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A Muslim dude (a bit wasted at the end of a hot day in the holy Muslim month of Ramadhan, while he was fasting) was responding to his Christian friend who offered to fast with him as a show of support. He replied "nah don't worry about it, a man for his own" (where he had inavertently spliced together "every man for himself" and "unto each his own", and mutated the first word).

The term amfho subsequently achieved a great deal of popularity in Sunway College, and it has now been exported to the rest of the world, most notably Australia.
"We amfho'd him as he was running late, again."

"British forces were getting whipped by the Japanese army, so they just decided "amfho" and left the region."

"That bitch amfho's guys the moment they run into financial trouble."

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."
