A pairing between two well known individuals, organised by a PR rep for the purpose of boosting their media presence.

These tend to go hand in hand with a film or TV show romance and give a steady release of staged paparazzi shots.

Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer's 'romance' was masterfully orchestrated around the promotion of the film 'I Am Number 4' only to suddenly break off right around the release date...

KStew and RPatz, a long standing PRomance are having big 'issues' right now. Coincidently on the run up to the release of the final Twilight.

Promance

When two men have a work relationship, that is completely platonic, but facilitates motivation, ego-stoking, and enhances their daily work.

Two men meeting at work and then doing everything together, including ego stroking, slight competition, frequently talking about one another, getting beers and talking about work.

"Hey Nikee, have you notice the new promance between our husbands, Derek and Chris? They spend so much time working and all they talk about when the get home to us is each other!"

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."
