A moronic con artist sold a broken laptop to someone on EBay. After being denied a refund on multiple occasions, the new owner of the laptop posted incriminating foot fetish pictures along with the seller's personal information, taken from the computers hard drive, on the internet. I am sure the idiot who sold the broken laptop will never 'do an amir' again.

do an amir

To con money out of someone, lie or be otherwise dishonest, only to face ritual humiliation on a worldwide scale.

To sell a broken laptop on Ebay, let the buyer pay some 375 Pounds and having a bunch of personal information stored on that particular laptop which is later being published by the unfortunate buyer. This is what you could do if you want to do an amir

do an "Amir"

"To con money out of someone, lie or be otherwise dishonest, only to face ritual humiliation on a worldwide scale". History points to a fellow, who sold a non-working laptop to another, after repeated attempts by 'victim' to receive recompense, said victim removes hard-drive from laptop, and posts very (ahem) private information about the ahhh..."victimizer". See entry for "Ownage".
I see Tibetan-Monkhood in some poor souls' future.

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
