fizzbuzz problem 

There are Computer Science graduates who seem like pretty decent programmers when you talk to them. They know theory, they know language features, and they're overall pretty conversant on the topic of programming. Then you see their code, and you discover that they stink on ice.

That's why we have fizzbuzz problems. A fizzbuzz problem is a short computer science test designed to illustrate competency (or incompetency) by giving the test-taker a simple task that should take something like a minute or two to program. These can be used in job applications, or in academic settings to see how well a certain educational program is Really going.

The name comes from an essay about devising problems of this type, where the blogger involved the phrase "fizzbuzz" in the tasks.
The eponymous fizzbuzz problem: Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of both three and five, print "FizzBuzz".

Robert: "..."

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...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
