Techspam 

Loads of techy jargon that only one or two people in/on a channel/chatroom/forum understand.

I just made it up as I felt we needed something to define this.
IRC extract, understandable, but it's pretty techy and there was lots more.

<XXXXX> so do I do truffserv1,2,3,4 for the first ip?

<XXXXX> first box*

<*****> and all the games are visible from each address, or different games on different addresses?

<XXXXX> different games on different addressess

<*****> depends how the games are set up. i.e. if they are bound to seperate addresses..

<*****> right

<*****> so you need to make an actual name for each IP address, then aliases for each game, pointing to the name that points to the IP address.

<XXXXX> ok

<-- ###### has quit (Ping timeout)

<*****> you *can* point each gamename to an IP address, but should the IP address need to be changed, you will have more work on your hands.

<*****> as /all/ hostname/IP pairs will need to be changed, rather than leaving the cnames and just changing the real ones.

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."
