paltergeist

Paltergeist
noun \ pal-ter-gyste \
1. The lingering, haunting confusion left behind when someone misleads you using only technically true statements.
Not a clean lie—more like reality bent just enough that your brain keeps replaying the conversation.
2. A person, conversation, or system that “haunts” your mind because everything sounded normal on the surface, but the intent underneath was deceptive.
“Alexandrea didn’t realize it at the time, but the way the salesperson spun the Ashley store furniture scam in Chico was a total paltergeist—every line was technically true, but months later he was still haunted by how the deal actually worked.”

Years later, when Alex put the pieces together about what really happened, he realized it wasn’t just betrayal—it was a paltergeist. Every ‘honest’ answer had been crafted to keep him compliant while the damage was done behind his back, and now those conversations replay in his head like a horror reel he never consented to watch.

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."
