Vu Jàdé 

Vu Jàdé can be simply defined as that funny feeling that this has never happened to you before. The term “Vu Jàdé” (also called preamnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has not witnessed or experienced a situation previously. The term was coined by Kurt Kemp in 2007 in his book (The Weird Ideas I Get), which expanded upon an idea for an essay he was working on for his Myspace Blog. Unfortunately he got distracted and never completed the essay.
The experience of Vu Jàdé is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of unfamiliarity, and also a sense of shock, awe, or suddenly feeling lost. The experience is most frequently attributed to a lack of imagination, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience genuinely never happened. Vu Jàdé has been described as “Instant Alzheimer’s.”

Why we are so deep in the woods I have no idea. As we walked up to the after, after hour party, I had such a sense of vu-ja-de. Crossing our path at about 10mph is a hippie on a queen size bed converted into a motorized golf cart (5 strippers included). As we get to the clearing, 200 party goers alongside a log cabin by a lake are still going strong. If my friends were not there to confirm the story, no one would have ever believed me if I told them what we experienced that day.

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."
