An anime/manga slang term for a character that is cold, blunt, cynical, and pretty much doesn't care if her beloved dies. That's what she is on the outside but she is actually caring and nice on the inside.

Differs from tsundere since tsundere is when the character frequently runs hot and cold between tsun and dere. Kuudere is when the character only occasionally shows her caring side.

A person, (usually an anime character, although in some cases, such as myself, is used for real people) who keeps to his or her self. Even if you are family he or she won't let you see them cry, or show any emotion. This doesn't mean he/she doesn't care, she/he does not want to lose you and thinks that showing his/her true personality will make you think they are too talkative or weak. They also are a natural introvert, for that reason. If you stay heartwarming, while he/she starts letting their other side slip. Also, don't be afraid of them, they may seem scary, but that isn't truly who they are. If they dislike you, you would know by now. If you know someone who is very secertive of thier past, they are a kuudere
Oh, her. She's a kuudere, don't expect too much.

Very similar to the tsundere except subtler. A kuudere acts relatively aloof and emotionless (instead of overtly hostile) but likes you more than what they show. They’re more likely to merely be uncomfortable about being too vulnerable or seeming weak than resenting you, though it’s not uncommon for them to also feel that they’re too good for you. They also may or may not become sweeter and more vulnerable as the relationship continues, depending on the health of the relationship. The true extent of their love may or may not be obvious to anyone else, but in fiction it tends to be, whereas in real life it tends not to be.
“Kuudere” is a combination of two Japanese terms: “kūru” (calm), and “dere-dere“ (to be lovey-dovey). The kuudere is a popular character trope in anime.

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...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
