Mr. Barrister John Warosa, or simply John Warosa, is a fictional character, created by an unnamed 419 advanced fee scammer, and later co-opted by YouTuber Atomic Shrimp, and has become infamous in the scambaiting community. His backstory varies, but he is usually portrayed as a barrister, or a hypothetical second scammer, attempting to interrupt an ongoing scam. He was immortalised in song by Eric Castiglia's song "The Soul Called Mr. Barrister John Warosa."

Notably, the spelling of his last name is inconsistent, due to an error on the part of the scammer than originally conceived him, and is spelled both "Barosa" and "Warosa", with the Barosa spelling normally appearing in video titles, and the Warosa spelling appearing in the video itself.

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."
