curtain twitcher 

Someone with nothing better to do than to spy on their neighbours for signs of petty wrongdoing. A derogatory term for members of the neighbourhood watch and other such organisations.

The term refers to the only sign of their presence - curtains twitching in suburban dwellings as they peek out at whatever might be going on outside.

Has absolutely nothing to do with homosexuality, except where homosexuality is illegal and thus something else for the curtain-twitchers to report to the authorities.
"Letting the deranged curtain twitcher at Snout’s Cottage gather “intelligence” about her neighbours reminds me of East Germany before the Wall came down."

Their duties include:
1. Scour other people's social media profiles for news they can use for their own joviality.
2. Using partners/friends account so they can't be traced or twitched at themselves.
3. Check out how sexy members of the opposite sex are without the person knowing.

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."
