A well-respected former player and current commentator for the FGC -- namely Marvel vs. Capcom (mahvel). A real OG.

Notably, a compilation of his MvC2 commentary was uploaded to YouTube in 2007 titled "mahvel baybee!" that coined a number of phrases near and dear to the heart of anyone who loved/loves Marvel vs. Capcom.

e.g. "IT'S MAHVEL BAYBEE!" "Oh he got da mango Sentinel" "Mag-fucking-neto" "Scoops Häagen-Dazs" "Oh he's so Pringles. Where yo curleh mustache at?" etc.

The video is so well-known in the FGC that Capcom themselves made references to it in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Crazy, right?

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."
