<noun><verb>(to compound-tailgate)
This is when a dumbass/old person in front of you is driving slow, usually going the actual speed limit or below, and you are trying not to tailgate them, when some douchebag genious behind you thinks it a great idea to tailgate you, hoping that will make the guy in front of you go faster. This usually results in a heated exchange, such as the tap of your breaks, wave of your hand, or spraying of the windshield wipers (my personal favorite). In the end, you eternally hate the person behind you because its all their fault.

Sorry I'm late bro, I got stuck behind this old man and this douche behind me caused some serious compound-tailgation, so I had to get out of the car and slap his bitch ass.

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."
