Ombre's are mysterious girls who are often misunderstood in the eyes of people around them. They have few but very close friends who mean the world to them. Very artistic and gamer geeks. They have a dark aura around themselves even though they try to be as positive as possible (this fails 60% of the time.) They will stand up for their beliefs however not always for themselves. They are modest even if they do not see the beauty or talent they posses. Observant and peaceful. If you meet an Ombre, be sure never to let her go, she could be one of the best decisions you've ever made.
Person 1: Wow, do you see that girl?
Person 2: Yea, what's her name?
Person 1: Ombre.
Person 2: As in the colour?
Person 1: Dude, don't say that, she hates that xD
Person 2: She won't get mad at me, she's an Ombre after all.

A hair color. Sorta brown, kinda blond. A lot of girls dye their hair this color and IT IS ANNOYING when they try to explain it but have no clue what it really is and only did it because everyone else is. Can't you just say brown or blond? No. It must be ombré.
Normal girl: what color did you dye your hair?
Popular girl: ombré
Normal girl: WTF is that
Popular girl: it's kind of brown ish kind of blond ish but brown at the same time but also blond.
Normal girl: err... Okay. I just look it up on Urban Dictionary... Um.. Thanks...

ombre hair 

Ombre hair refers to hair color fading from dark to light, or vice versa. Instead of the color starting from the roots, it gradually becomes lighter, or darker, towards the ends. The word "ombre" in French means shadow or shade. Think Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City, Rachel Bilson, Whitney Port.
Friend 1: "Did you notice all the celebrities are letting their roots grow out?"

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."
