Back in WW2 Alan Turing was the man who broke enigma, which are encrypted codes designed by Germany. Breaking enigma aided the allies drastically enabling them to win the war as well as end it much earlier saving about 14 million lives. Sadly he had allegations filed against him for homosexuality, resulting in chemical castration performed on him finally leading to his suicide in 1954 June 7. Aside from that, he helped the development of computers and other technologies. But most notably Alan Turing is the sole reason we do not live in an authoritarian society ruled by nazis today. Unfortunately most Americans & British people do not give a shit about his contributions since he was homosexual and so Alan Turing is not commemorated much

Person A: damn I just found out about Alan Turing, he helped shape our society so much!
Person B: well he was homosexual so...
Person A:... he saved your life

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
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.

Whale

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."
