A person or organization that does things or operates in such a manner that is not in their best interest. This can be caused by a mental deficiency or some other psychological disorder. The sad reality is that this condition not only harms the individual or organization, but also everyone associated with that person or organization.

Urban Dictionary has been operating in a self destructive mode for many years by not instituting a plan for allowing its volunteer editors to vote to remove homophobic, racist and misogynist definitions that have been "already suggested for removal" but were kept because of the immaturity or mental deficiency of some of its editors. These horrific definitions are then allowed to remain on the UD web page for eternity with no way of removing them.

Destructive Criticism

Often confused with Constructive Criticism, destructive criticism is when a critique is made that does little to open for improvement, but rather attacks the work through fallacious logic or personal bias, and often leads to the weaken rather than strengthen the work. Usually done to attack the creator and not the creation.

It's destructive criticism to demand a happy ending instead of a horrifying ending for an intentionally horrifying film.

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."
