wink wink nudge nudge 

"Wink wink nudge nudge" followed by "say no more, say no more," is a statement popularized by Eric Idle in his Monty Python days in the early 1970s. The winks and nudges are verbal explications of gestures people make when they want to pass on something sly (a wink of the eye and an elbow in the other person's side, nudging). The "say no more" extender means, rather literally, "You don't have to tell me anything more."

This buzz term (or terms) was used when Idle played a character (usually opposite fellow Pythoner Terry Jones as a stuffy Brit), who persistently (and wrongly) tried to put a sniggering sexual implication on perfectly ordinary situations:

-- Idle: "Your secretary, she's a bit of a goer, isn't she?"

-- Jones (perplexed): "Umm, perhaps."

-- Idle: "Wink wink nudge nudge. Say no more, say no more."

Within the past 30 years "Wink wink nudge nudge" has also taken on almost its exact opposite meaning, used sarcastically to mean something along the lines of "I'm sure it's painfully obvious to us both."
.
"Look at her, do you think she runs, do you think she runs?"

"I'm not sure what you mean."

(Very broadly): "Wink wink nudge nudge say no more, say no more."

"Did you have any idea that Senator X was closeted and gay?"

"Oh, wink wink nudge nudge. Anyone gay, or anyone working in official Washington (D.C.) knew it already."

Wink wink nudge nudge 

Also followed by "know what I mean, know what I mean." Meaning quite often something off color or taboo that can't be said outright and must be aluded to. Monty Python coined this but.

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."
