John Laurens 

Awesome 1754-1782 abolitionist soldier with enough salt to bury Aaron Burr alive. Didn't love turtles that much, but instead everything in nature. Kicked ass, used sass, all of it with extra class. Seriously, that guy was a reckless little shit though. Really wanted to form a black regiment, but never got to do that. Killed himself smartly at an ambush on the 27th of August 1782, and even invited some ladies to watch the battle. Very super totally highly probable that he was in love with Francis Kinloch and Alexander Hamilton.
Basic bi!ch: Omg John Laurens was such a innocent turtle boii and helpless GIRL WITH A DICK cinnamon roll uwu

Laurens: *floats down from heaven, shoots the b!tch, salutes to everyone normal in the room, dissapears*

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."
