When the amount of leeway you're willing to give someone based purely on their attractiveness runs out. Like a check that bounces because of insufficient funds, a 'cute check' is given by uninteresting but attractive people but soon bounces when you find there's nothing in the 'account' to draw interest from.

Cameron: "I don't know why you still put up with that Tony kid. His cute check bounced about 1 day after I met him and then I just couldn't stand to be around him."

Gyro: "Yeah I know, but he's just so darn cute."

Cameron: "Yeah well, whatever."

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.

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."
