A hardcore enthusiast of video games; a gamer.

The term was coined by non-gamers working in the localisation department of Nintendo's European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, and is an abbreviation of Nintendoid.

The word is used to describe people who display characteristics including (but not restricted to) long hair, poor dress sense, a lack of personal hygiene and social skills, and few interests beyond the world of video games, science fiction and fantasy.

The doids got really excited when they heard about the latest console.

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.

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."
