It is a combination (portmanteau/neologism) of the words Quarantine and Thanksgiving. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, this can be viewed as a novel holiday in which Thanksgiving is celebrated during a quarantine typically accompanied by virtual parties and get-together via Zoom or Skype. Social-distancing and a minimal number of guests are urged for such a holiday, but not always abided by during such times like those of COVID-19.

John: Are you excited for Quarantinesgiving on Zoom?

Mary: Not really, this is sad and depressing, I wish we could be in person, but I guess it’s better than nothing.

John: Hang in there, we can enjoy a virtual meal, toast, and good chats amongst our family and friends while keeping safe and not spreading this damn virus.

Mary: Okay, you’re right! I guess I didn’t think of it that way; in that case, Happy Quarantinesgiving!!!

Quarantinship

Is essentially a virtual/Distant relationship that serves for quarantine companionship purposes during Pandemics quarantine, social distancing, and lockdowns. The selection of the partner is not based on certain mutual understanding, or admiration but is rather due to boredom, isolation, and a need to communicate with any INsignificant other. This quarantinship will most likely end with the end of the quarantine, and neither party will acknowledge it.

Ramy and I are in a quarantinship, we have been chatting, and talking non-stop since we started social distancing. Helps me look forward to something each day

Quaranthirsty

Quarantine has made us all socially distant both literally and figuratively. The urge to want to hookup and have physical contact to the extreme makes one quaranthirsty. It’s like regular sexual thirsty but in the context of “quarantimes”.

Friend: “It’s been a while since I’ve had sex, do you think that grandpa over there could get it?”

Me: Girl, you’re quaranthirsty. Snap out of it, he’s like 70 years old...

Friend: “I wish I could see what’s underneath..“

Me: “His mask?”

Friend: “No girl, you know what I quaranmean ;)“

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."
