Bureaucracy

The greatest mind who has ever lived is long-dead and will never be known... And in the wake of his discovery of the fact that everyone and everything can be organized; the outcome of the lives of a plurality of humanity have been set in stone.
Iam "YOU have been organized. And under the ambulating gears of the infinite clockwork you lives are rendered inconsequential. YOU have been accounted for. A golden pyramid of gears ascending towards the heavens. And at the top of the pyramid a lever. And the lever controls the horde. And the man who sits in front of the lever walks (alone) with God. He gives everything it's place. Bureaucracy gives way to government. YOU have been governed. Forever-nested in the organizational system that predates your birth. The gears spin faster at the bottom. Don't mind the people falling off the edge. It is all within the acceptable parameters."

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."
