It means to recognize and accept that certain things and circumstances are shit and super hard to get through. And there are a lot of things to feel negative about and you have to allow yourself to process that negativity and then choose optimism over negativity.

"YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE TO HAVE RECKLESS OPTIMISM DESPITE PERCEIVING IT TO BE A HOPELESS SITUATION." -Hannah Hart

The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless are an American hard rock band. Their sound is like that of classical rock n' roll blended with a modern twist, and occasionally with a grunge sound complimented by great guriffs. The members consist of former TV starlet, Taylor Momsen who stands as frontwoman and songwriter. Ben Phillips, the lead guitarist, who has an old sexy classic rock voice and tributes to the band's songwriting. Mark Damon is their bassist, who stands at over 6ft. and doubles as security for the band, according to Taylor in an interview. Lastly is the spectacular drummer, Jamie Perkins. Apart from his dazzling drumming skills, his beautiful beard and matching hair leaves many Zombies--the name fans of 'The Pretty Reckless'--in complete awe.

Zombie 1: My favorite album is 'Light Me Up', but I'm feeling this new 'Going To Hell' album!

Zombie 2: 'Going To Hell' rocks--no pun intended. 'Fucked Up World' is my favourite track.

Peasant: The Pretty Reckless aren't all that.

Zombie 1: LEAVE.

Zombie 2: GET OUT.

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."
