Biman Half Marathon

When someone exploits and harasses professional and amateur athletes as a marketing stunt.

The way they are treating the runners, I'd say they really pulling another biman half marathon stunt.

Masturbation Marathon

An exceptionally long episode of masturbation fits. These episodes are usually brought on by sexual deprivation and bordom; however, and I'm not making this up, they have been used a means of fundraising for sexual related causes such as safe sex. A masturbation marathon is a strenuous event that requires disciplined training and preparation. There are several related subcatagories such as time, ejaculation distance, and most orgasms for both male and female competitors (I'm totally serious - google it).

Hillary's return brought an end to Bill's 72 hour masturbation marathon.

NCIS Marathon

Something of a daily occurance, NCIS is a great show and it seams its so great that they have "Marathon's" almost everyday. Do not get sucked in as these last for 12-24 hours and you will get nothing done.

Person 1: I'm going to work on my project *walks into TV room* EWWW!!! NCIS Marathon! *Two hours later*: Shit I got nothing done!

In short don't get sucked in.

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.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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."
