A place where a majority of the Nanuet high schoolers do pot after school, Where you'll see some meat heads and airhead cheerleaders hooking up and catching incredible diseases from each other. Nanuet senior high school composes of 700 assholes, whores, freaks, geeks etc. When a rumor gets heard by one person, it gets heard by over 400 kids overnight, rumors spread fast in Nanuet. Where freshmen and sophomores think they are cool wearing their dumb ass colorful bracelets up to their shoulders and the upperclassmen just waiting for those kids to get beat up, but no one will because we're all pussies to stand up for what we want to say. Though we all might say we hate Nanuet, once we all leave for college we will miss our poor high school that can barely afford planners and the lame Nanuet mall that no one ever visits, except for parking when the Nanuet carnival comes to town!
Wow, Nanuet sucks. But we still love its' shitty atmosphere.

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."
