Unread Online Syndrome 

A temporary fit of anxiety. This is a very common affliction caused when you send a message to someone on MySpace when you see they are online, then sit and wait for them to respond. After a couple of minutes you open your Sent Mail and see that it is still Unread. You have now entered the Unread Online Syndrome. You sit there hoping beyond hope that the message gets opened before he/she logs off, because if not, then who knows how long till the person logs back in. You refresh the page every couple seconds. You check your Inbox anyways, making sure that it isn’t a glitch saying it’s Unread when it’s really not. You begin to feel panic. “Is he/she gonna see that there’s a new message before logging?!?” There is no escape. You have been infected with Unread Online Syndrome and the only cures are if the person finally opens the message or just logs off.
Joey got sick last night. He was on MySpace and for 3 hours he suffered from Unread Online Syndrome before Angel finally wrote him back. But by then it was too late and he was convulsing on the floor.

left on unread 

When someone reads the message from their notifications, but doesn't open it. This may be due to:
1. They're busy.
2. They pretend to like you but aren't interested enough to listen to your problems.

This leads to people with people constantly checking their messages to see if that person even checked their message. The longer the message remains unchecked, the longer your anxiety grows.
Jack: So you up for me coming to your place this weekend.
Sam: Yeah, what time?
Jack: Is 5 PM good?

*Message left on unread for 10 hours*

*Jack starts checking his messages every few minutes, his faith in his so called friend dwindling every second.*

double unread by Texting Aficionado January 31, 2018
When a message is not read by the recipient, this is usually because they are disinterested in what the person has to say.

On occasion, the user will read the message in scroll or drop-down feature of their phone, which will still leave the message unread in the chat.
Joey: 'Hey Samantha, great time last night, we should do it again sometime'
Samantha to Georgie: 'Did you see Joey wants to talk? I left him unread, so he thinks I never saw the message.'

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."
