information superhighway 

A cheesy, ebullient, woefully outdated term from the 90's, which means "Internet". Coined when all the people were massively wowed by the sheer awesomeness of the Intertubes. Nowadays in disuse unless you use it for comedy.
"With my brand new computer and the Internet, I have all the information I want within a single click of my mouse! If I want to find out how to look after a cat, I just have to type it in a search site, and WHAM! There it goes! How to buy a car? You can find it! Today's newspaper? You bet! Information for my daughter's chemistry paper? The Internet has it! Want to know about my son on student exchange in Norway? No problem! I just write him an e-mail, click "Send", and my letter travels all the way through the Atlantic and reaches him instantly and for free!"

Oh yeah sure Mrs. Adams, I uses the internet thousands o' times. I can tell you the information superhighway is completely free of unsuitable materials. You need a password to get onto tha' stuff, and it costs lots o' money on a credit card. No such thing as hackers neither. There is just one nerd who lives in a garage somewhere in Russia, and this little device will save you from all the bad stuff an'a hackers.

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.

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."
