'theprey' is a compound word denoting the conjunction of the and prey.

The is taken in this context to mean a person.

Prey refers to the fact that this is a person who conceals their true identity through a series of false identities presented online, aliases and assorted other smoke and mirrors designed to obfuscate anyone who tries to find them. They fully understand their role in the hunt - that is, to be the hunted. In their preremptory fabrication of multiple aliases, they have premeditated that this is the position they would prefer to be in in a relationship. Compare to the submissive partner in a DS relationship.


Notes about theprey variants are:

Some enjoy the process of being hunted so much that they will run too far: the predator will lose interest or become so tired by the chase they are forced to give up. These are called thepreytoofast.

Others will begin to use the chase to gather multiple predators, in the knowledge that each in the course of the hunt will be too distracted by the quarry to notice each other. They often end up hurt in the fight at the end, because when a predator finds another who has already cornered his quarry, he will fight for it. These are called thepreyinpain.
I met a theprey last week. He's got four girls following him already, but plays innocent all the time.

She's such a theprey! I've fought off six guys so far and there's still more before I can even approach her!

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."
