false angel

An individual who appears to be nice and kind, but turns out to be a complete monster once you point out something that they don't want you to. Often times these are the people who can (or at least think they can) get away with all sorts of crimes. Many times unless you have a great deal of evidence to the contrary against such an individual, almost nobody will believe you. In rare cases in which others do believe you, the false angel will do everything in their power to discredit you. A false angel will pretend to be nice simply to get you to do something they would rather not do themselves; or to get something from you. They’re manipulative, with poor morals/values, if any. These individuals bring others great joy when they get their comeuppance. Some base traits of false angels are their aloofness, their lack of conscience, the fact that they are all backstabbers & have exceptional acting skills. Frequently false angels are also Assholes & extremely petty. Despite the fact that every false angel's at least shown their true nature to at least one person, they somehow manage to convince everyone around them they're an angel. False angels rely on deceiving people into thinking they're better in some way. They do this by advertising themselves as being kind, funny, trustworthy, the ever so vague cool, smart, honest, or pretty; with most claiming to possess all of these traits at once. In each case, the false angel is lying about either most, or all of these traits.

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."
