throat clearing 

*ahem* throat clearing is an asexual phallic symbol. but on a more serious note - the action of throat clearing is similar to the action of yawning. it just so happens that throat clearing seems to carry connotations opposite to those of yawning. yawning says things like "we get along so well that we don't even need to talk" whereas coughing says things like "our relationship is sick". of course there are those who use the word sick in a positive manner of speaking...share the wealth and stuff...you know.
every once in awhile these things happen:

=: socialized throat clearing (coughing) during extracurricular activities.
=: sickness . know?
=: burping (often...or after a good meal...or on the alphabet fuck || farm -> a.k.a. communication).
=: sometimes you have to control the weather and blow the buggers out of the water...and out of your life. |who sunk my battle ship|can guide/disarm a missile using their 1337 mind control over red negative energy||
=: spraying it, not saying it, yet in a semi-appropriate (or perhaps merely an uncontested) manner.

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.

Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
