3 the hard way

An impossibility; very hard to achieve. Refers to craps term "the hard way" where two dice must be rolled with matching numbers. EX: 6 the hard way would be 3/3, not 5/1 or 2/4. Therefore, 3 the hard way would be im-fucking-possible.
"Jim's chances of giving mary a cleveland steamer are like 3 the hard way"

Seven the Hard Way 

Seven the Hard Way was a Pat Benetar album, and it's a (sort of) reference to the game of craps. "The Hard Way" in craps is rolling doubles - so, Ten the Hard Way is a pair of 5's. (It is twice as hard to get 2 5's as a 4 with a 6). But, you can't roll "Seven the Hard Way" - there's no way to roll doubles and get an odd number!
From the Pat Benetar Fan Club:

"Seven albums in seven years...
Two dice...3½ dots each.
Seven the hard way."

3. A sexual practice where a woman will do seven guys at once. In the cunt, ass, mouth, one in each hand and one in each ear.
Too bad guys can't do 7 chicks at once. Even if you could use your dick, tounge, both hands and both feet all at the same time you would only have six!

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."
