roentgenizdat 

Roentgenizdat is a portmanteau of the words 'roentgen' (as in roentgen rays; x-rays) and the Russian 'izdatel'stvo' meaning publisher. It is a variation of the better-known 'samizdat', or 'self-publication', referring to the underground publication of banned literature in the Soviet Union. As well as literature, much western music (including rock and jazz, etc.) was banned. Despite some records being smuggled through to the legions of jonesing music junkies, demand far exceeded supply. Vinyl was near-impossible to get, so even when records could miraculously cross the border, they could not be reproduced. However, soon enough someone brilliant realised that sound grooves could be inscribed in the acetate of old x-ray plates. Thus, the roentgenizdat, or x-ray press, was born. X-ray records (or 'rock on ribs' as they were often known, due to the bones which were visible when the discs were held up to the light) were of poor quality and seldom lasted for more than a few months, but they still contained the precious forbidden music, and as such were treasured by all who could get their hands on them.
The roentgenizdat was eventually discovered and banned in 1958.

Rontgen Thinking 

***Also called as X-Ray Thinking (as X rays were discovered by W.C.Röntgen)***

"Röntgen Thinking" or "X-Ray Thinking", basically refers to thinking -- with the capacity to look into depths or hidden realities -- of an issue, event, or concept....or anything else for that matter, that can be thought about.

In simple words, people who think in a very shallow, lame or silly way, and think that they've understood things the superficial way, such as taking info off an untrusted or silly source, that too (generally) in little doses, when their ass is way too dumb to understand things for what they are.
Jim : Hey, you heard bout the Dubbly twins ?

Sam : No, what about them ?

Jim : Well, they're only 'identical' looks-wise! While Terence, who goes the Rontgen Thinking way, needs to take one look at any politician to understand what he really is, having known their history, backgrounds, past and everything else, all his twin brother Philip does is believe every political advertisement he sees and fart in approval! He's so lame, really.

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."
