CCTV cameras 

They're like little people except nailed to a poll. Oh! They're Jesus! They're just like Jesus.
Hym "Not quite what's happening here though is it? That's what the whole 'get what you deserve' rant was about. You maintaining the illusion of control and keen indifference towards the visible spill-off. But THIS on the other hand is more like CCTV cameras that are only pointed at me. Iam is still asleep by the way... We don't usually get up this early.

Indian CCTV 

Indian women who live in India, in their 50s+ who have nothing better to do with their time apart from stalk younger people in the street from their windows and see what they r upto. Some tend to be fat. If someone appears to be doing something which is not seen as right in their eyes, for example 2 opposite genders just talking and doing nothing else, they seem to think that they automatically have the right to get involved and tell them off when in reality haven’t done anything wrong. This is due to the fact that they still think it’s 1940 and opposite genders can’t talk. Always think they are right when 99% of the time they are wrong.
“Look at that old Indian woman being a cctv camera. She’s proper staring at those people over there who are doing nothing wrong. This is what you call an Indian CCTV camera”.

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."
