Hummingbirds are the Sharks of the Sky 

Quoted from youtuber Captainsparklez also known as Jordan Maron. This quote suggested that as sharks have to keep swimming as to not sink, hummingbirds can't stop flying because they can't land. Of course, hummingbirds can land and Jardon was wrong.
"It just flies forever, it's stuck there like the Sharks of the Sky because most sharks can't stop swimming either. That's probably the first time anyone's ever said that Hummingbirds are the Sharks of the Sky, and I'm going to own up to that."

- Jordan Maron (Captainsparklez) on August 6, 2017 in the video titled "An Expensive Mistake" at 8:45

Ex mining village until recently was cut off, due to no bus service. Most people are related to each other. They have a fish shop, shop, pubs, doctors, park, postoffice which only opens when no one’s looking.

There is community centre locals are discouraged from using in case they pinch tea bags or do not wash up. Most children are 19th generation Sharlston, whether things will change now they have a bus, only time will tell. Those that brave the Wakefield bus complain it’s a perilous journey. Once some took the Castleford bus and never returned. The bus company is relentless, replacing the bus stops which locals remove.
The shop sells energy drinks and lager so covers the whole days hydration.

At tea time locals meet at the park for chips. There’s a group trying get the park classified as a nature reserve, many rats regularly feast on the locals left overs. It’s the only animal that survives in Sharlston, people feel it should be protected they have heard Europe will give a grant towards the nature reserve. The water supply was cut off many years ago, no one ever noticed until someone tried to set up a car wash in 2015. The guy was part of the team that set off on the Castleford bus. As he never returned his complaint wasnt followed up.
Occasionally outsiders move to Sharlston, they stand out like sore thumbs, they have straight teeth and their eyes move in unison.
I live in Sharlston, its a village.

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."
