Golden Overshot

When performing a Golden Handshake (definition on this site), one pretends to accidentally overshoot the forearms, faking apologies the whole time, but continuing to soak the would-be business partner's torso and legs in piss until one's bladder is completely emptied (excusing it all with "once I start I can't stop--it burns"). This technique is often used as a subtle form of mockery of the would-be business deal, or a way to express doubts of the profitability of the alliance.

Eager to seal the deal, Henry agreed to the Golden Handshake but was somewhat hurt when John surprised him with the Golden Overshot.

Overshower

1. To spend so long in the shower that you have to modify or skip other things you do to get ready for work, school, etc (akin to oversleeping). Signs of this in others include wet hair, mismatched clothing, and/or lack of make-up;
2. To shower so long that you are actually late for an event. Often a catalyst for Murphy's Law to take effect.

"Can we stop at McDonald's on the way into work? I overshowered and I didn't have time to make breakfast."

"Sorry I'm so late! I overshowered and then it took me forever to find my car keys."

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...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
