It is one of the most popular ships in the X-Men fandom and causes 95% of fans to experience "feels". If you don't ship it, you obviously don't have a soul or working eyes.

Cherik

The "shipping" or relationship between Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender). This bromance can be seen in all three of the newer X-Men (X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and X-Men: Apocalypse) They are obviously in love, and honestly, when are they going to kiss?!

Fangirl 1: Oh my god, have you seen Cherik in "X-Men: First Class"?
Fangirl 2: Yes, oh my god, the ship is canon!

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."
