JDM fanboy

A 10 - 15 year old kid who thinks either watching or posting Tik Toks and Instagram vids of shitty JDM memes makes them superior to others. They must always find a way to show their internet expertise by always talking about the Mk4 supra, or the R34 skyline and other mainstream Japanese cars.
Mark: Bro do you even know what a RB26 is!?

John: Bruh Mark, shut the fuck up, you're 14 year old JDM fanboy who watches nothing but JDM related Tik Toks and Fast and Furious movies.

Delusionary Fanboy Syndrome 

1. Someone suffering from a belief that there favorite character is a super cool badass based of them just liking the character. The character in question can have no feats near what a person suffering from DFS says he can do.
Ex: A person suffering from DFS would think Krillin is the strongest fighter in DBZ and would be strong enough to fight Perfect Cell and win with no help.

2. Someone suffering from a belief of their favorite characters needing extra care/exposure when they serve no real purpose to the overall story arc of the series they are in. They make up random scenarios to put their characters in, but unlike fan fiction writers it is their own headcanon that they try to spread to everyone.
"Stephanie Brown would mop the floor with Batman in his prime"
"Robert, you are suffering from Delusionary Fanboy Syndrome"

Console Fanboy 

A console fanboy is a person who consistently claims that one video game console is better than the others, and insults anyone who plays one of the consoles he/she hates.

Ironically, anyone who calls someone else a fanboy is usually a fanboy themselves. An overwhelmingly common behavior in console fanboys is to call someone else a fanboy, and display fanboy behavior immediatly after (see example).

Unfortunatly, the term gets thrown around so much that few treat the word correctly now. Someone who says he prefers one console over another is immediatly called a fanboy. The most commonly forgotten fact is that fanoys are people who mindlessly trash another console and the people who play them for no reason, NOT people who are just expressing an opinion. Few actually take the time to tell the difference.
Example of the "Calling someone a fanboy and behaving like one right after" behavior:

Sane poster: PS3 and Wii are fun, but Xbox is my favorite.

Console fanboy: OMG us such a 360 fanboy!!! 360 fanboy alert! PS3 is better than both consoles, better graphics, better sound, better online, the other consoles are so shitty, it's unbelivable! PS3 is the ONLY good console, i say SWAT teams should execute anyone who plays anything else! God, stop being such a 360 fanboy!!!

COD Fanboy 

All those little kids that spend their entire life and money on the Call Of Duty franchise. This individual:

1. Thinks that the only "kick-ass" game is Cod.
2. Is usually a fat potty-mouthed socially depressed kid and has fat parents who don't give a shit about his child's health and therefore let him play videogames all the time to keep him away from their lives while feeding him fast food from Mc. Donalds.
3. Thinks that he can go to the army and eventually kick everyone's ass without any kind of training.
4. Believes of himself as the best because of his kill/death ratio, or his high multiplayer rank.
5. Is doomed to live the rest of his life as a dungeon troll.
COD Fanboy's logic:

Maybe if I insult everyone, people will start thinking that I am a badass. "MOM BRING ME SOME HOT CHOCOLATE IM HUNGRY YOU BITCH!"

Everyone in the lobby:
*watch out we've got a badass over here*

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."
