coastal boy 

Coastal Boy: a white male native to the South Carolina Low Country. Coastal Boys are identifiable by their Performance Fishing Gear shirts, visors, and Costa Delmar sunglasses with croakies carefully placed on the back of the neck. The hair of a Coastal Boy is swept down in front and flipped up in the back, thus often confused for a classic Justin Bieber.

To jump around a lot, keep showing up at different places.

E.g. Never stay in one spot for long.
I.e. Business travelling. Band Touring.

Originally intended for large distances, hence "coast".
But nowadays (with more instant updating and specific geo tagging) not limited to. One might as well be showing up at different places (preferably peripherally opposite) in a city given a delimited time period.

Can be described as a more conscious type of jet lag. You are aware of your body not catching up to acclimatize to the new surroundings.

"Tuesday: George checked in @New York"

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."
