tech illiterate 

Someone who doesn't know anything/very little about technology. Sometimes they end up throwing around buzz words (like high-speed, big data, machine learning, IoT etc.) in an attempt to make themselves look smart - much to the dismay of the geeks watching.
Steve: "This new smart watch has 1TB of ram, a machine-learning CPU processor, 15MB of high-capacity SSD storage and 10MB of mobile data. Pretty good, eh?"
Dan: "eh..."
Steve: "Oh! Did you know that the watch also comes with a state-of-the-art big data analyzer?"
Dan: *sighs*
Dan: "Steve, your such a tech illiterate - did you know that?"

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."
