Meaning:
This word literally means natural stupidity in japanese. Also, it means idiot, stupid, dumbass, and is used to describe a very forgetful person. It can be used in a variety of different ways, as a noun, and an adjective.

History:
This word came to be around March 2004, when a student called Yu Eric "Tenbo" Shimizu that goes to St. Marys International School in Tokyo Japan started to be very forgetful. He didnt realize that someone took his lunch box, and when some of his classmates asked him if he didnt forget something, he said "Oh No! I forgot my tomatoes!!" (soo random of him to say that), and he didnt realized that someone hid his lunchbox. From then on, he started to do other stupid/forgetful things, so the name tenbo was made.

Tenbo comes from 2 different Japanese words. Ten comes from tennen, which means natural. Bo comes from boke, which means stupid/forgetful/idiot.
Yu! Don't be such a Tenbo!!

Eric is so tenbo like.

Oh my god, Yu!! Your such a Tenbo!!!

Like a weeaboo, but fetishizing British culture rather than Japanese culture. Think that watching Sherlock and Doctor Who give them any actual insight on the country at all and that saying things like "tea and crumpets" makes them interesting. Most likely have never actually been within 100 feet of a real British person in their life.
"Ugh did you see that teaboo over there who's lecturing people on British history that she learned through YouTube? Lame."
"I know, so obnoxious."

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."
