Overreacting to a somewhat overwhelming situation for the person twilighting, but for others, the situation isn’t that bad. The person tends to overthink, overplan, and hyperventilate.

Vanilla Twilight

It's a song, you sex-obsessed idiots! A perfectly innocent Owl City song about a guy who misses his girlfriend (or perhaps even a platonic friend, it isn't clear). Stop trying to turn it into something dirty.

When he uses the term, "Vanilla Twilight", he is literally talking about the color of the sky:

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought because when
I think of you I don't feel so alone

Twilightlicious

Twilightlicious is a brony meme originating from a vocal tweet by Tara Strong, the voice actor for Twilight Sparkle (A character in the rather popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe)
The format is a small rhyme, usually centered around the basic elements of the character (Twilight being the exception, as the fandom typically portrays her as more of a troll)

"I'm the T to the W-I, L-I-G-H-T, and ain't no other pony troll it down like me: I'm Twilightlicious"

Twilight Fangirl

Twilight Fangirls (TFs) are typically young, fanatical female fans of the Twilight series of books/films & may be identified by their Hot Topic Twilight tees. TFs travel in small organized groups, or at Twilight-sanctioned events, in larger unorganized packs. Ear protection is a must for bystanders when more than 10 TFs have gathered. TFs should be approached with caution by non-Twilight fans, and safety guidelines should be followed. NEVER state aloud that you are not a Twilight fan, have never read the book(s), or find 'Breaking Dawn' unrealistic in any way. If threatened, back away slowly & repeat calmly "I read the Isle Esmee chapter 27 times!". TFs' greatest wish is to stalk the set of any Twilight film, or - SQUEE!!! - to meet Robert Pattinson.

Twilight Fangirl #1 "OMG, did you hear Rpattz is on the set in Vancouver?"
Twilight Fangirl #2 "I KNOW! Let's go camp outside his hotel (or the hotel we THINK he's at) for 3 weeks!"
TF #1 & TF #2 "SQUEEEE!!!"

The Twilight Zone

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It’s a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow - between science and superstition. And it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call......

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."
