"Cakeboy" is a term I first came across in Clueless. In this case, it is used to announce that the man is homosexual, and while some would describe it as hateful, I happen to think it is a rather nice word, and hope that someday it will be used by the general public to promote homosexuality. Rarer still is my creation "cakegirl" (not yet in circulation) which means "lesbian".

1. As gay man - "Yo Cher, your man Christian is a cakeboy".

cakeboy

A cakeboy is a guy who gives off ambiguous intentions towards his female "friend(s)." Generally, he says and does things that confuse his female friend(s) into believing they're dating him. Cakeboys can be found in large numbers among nice guys and at Protestant seminaries.

The term cakeboy comes from the reference to cake -- it looks and tastes good for a time, but it won't sustain you long-term.

I can never tell whether I'm dating him. He snuggles up to me on the couch, but then talks about how he values our friendship. He is such a cakeboy!

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.

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."
