gensplain 

Gensplaining is when someone of a very different generation from you thinks they know more than you about something you are an expert in, mainly due to the era you were born / grew up in, and condescendingly takes the time to 'explain' to you how it works (similar to mansplaining).
A 25 year old kid in a shop tried to gensplain to me all about vinyl records and how they related to the length of radio singles 'back in the 70s' the other day; she must have missed the fact I'm over 50 and actually lived through it, or else thought I was senile.

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."
