A genre of fanfiction, usually AU, where a character has or suddenly grows wings, usually angelic. Tend to be either sugary, angsty, or both; whether these are worth reading tends to depend on the fandom and the skill of the author.

I started reading a wingfic as a joke, but it was really good once I disregarded how ridiculous the premise was.

WingMilf

Similar to Wingman, a WingMilf is the attractive older woman who accompanies you to bars and nightclubs as a platonic friend and in doing so increases your chances of meeting available women.
A WingMilf can make a man seem more attractive and safer to other women, because some women may judge a man's suitability based on the woman he is currently with. So basically if a man is with a very attractive woman, other women will assume he is more likely to be an acceptable candidate for a relationship. The WingMilf expands upon this concept by also presenting the man as being a safer choice. One added benefit is that a WingMilf can "talk up" the man to the other women, thus aligning with the stereotype of a mother trying to set her son up with a "nice girl".

By myself I would not have had a chance, but with Monica as my WingMilf, the ladies were practically lining up to meet me!

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."
