So originally "mate" would mean either freind (informal); or someone who you were planning on impregnating / getting impregnated by (depending on the reader's gender, if they have one at all) The internet and texting alike meant people were more interested in saying "m8" to save time, however, etymology clearly shows that the words carry less emotion, in such instances as people constantly saying "m8" when they dont mean it ... (see example)

Which brings the nation back to the point of "mEIGHT" whereupon they can realise their mistake in the first place and mock anyone who uses "m8", and ridicule it for its destruction of human nature

Adam: alryt m8
Normal MSN participant: er ... hello .. mate ...
Adam: u ok m8?
Normal MSN particpant (slightly vexed): yeh, I'm ok, u alright yourself?
Adam: yeh i'm ok m8, r u alryt?
Normal MSN partiicpant (faggrivated): erm ... look seriously I'm alright, you're alright, was there anything you wanted to talk about
Adam: yeh m8, im jus chattin to sum of my msn peeps
Normal MSN participant (back to normal state when he realises Adam is simply a silly little beggfreind who's emotions are replaced with Newspeak, he therefore no longer gives a shit): that's nice
Adam: yeh, neway I'm a little cunt and I keep chattin in cycles cos I'm a little cunt who has no personality of his own, I hide behind letters and digits, I ain't even got the guts to say "meight", not in real life anyway
Normal MSN participant: ur a cunt m8

Meight

What you're really saying when you type 'M8'. You're not trendy, you're illiterate.

<Hey M8!
Spelt wrong>
<It's slang
It's a typo.>
Might as well say Meight>

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.

Whale

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."
