fratchet 

Combination of “frat” and “ratchet.” Describes the typical attire of a frat daddy, i.e. the combination of a Hawaiian shirt with Chubbies and Sperrys. For some odd reason, fraternities have now turned to wearing tacky printed button down shirts, once reserved for balding middle-aged men, with shorts so short that they could be mistaken for a gay man from a distance. Concerning the last component of the new fratastic outfit, many a frat daddy have probably never even stepped foot on a boat, thus making the Sperry’s wet deck shoe traction aspect useless. This new trend has spiraled out of all control and is currently holding fashion hostage, thus making it uniquely ratchet: fratchet.
Guy 1: Dude, is he really wearing a camo button down with American flag short shorts and boat shoes?
Guy 2: Yeah man, he’s looking hella fratchet.

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."
