Metaegoism 

Egoism strictly defined is the habit of valuing everything only in reference to one's personal interest. It’s a kind of selfishness and it’s opposite is altruism.

Metaegoism takes this a step further and finds a way to enshrine one’s egoism thus formalizing it. A good example of this would be to get your Urban Dictionary contributor’s name as an Urban Dictionary entry.

Jus sayin’.
In an act of total metaegoism, Mindhunter the Profiler added his Urban Dictionary contributor’s name to the Urban Dictionary. That’s some meta fo’ yo’ ass!!!!!

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."
