an adult, though no longer a student, who does not have full-time employment and all the benefits that comes with it. Instead, a freeter chooses to work part-time or hold down odd jobs, even while full time employment is available.

Being a freeter means having more flexibility and freedom than someone with a permanent job. Freeters usually do not earn enough money to have their own home, so they often stay at home with their parents indefinitely, or else rent rooms in others' homes.

In today's economy, it's hard to know if a part-time employee is a freeloader or freeter, or is simply struggling to survive.

freetard

The freetard's entire identity is based around using free and open source software such as Linux, and he spends every waking hour of every day writing self-serving propaganda as to why he is superior to anyone who uses software whose licensing does not allow you to reverse engineer/copy/modify and then release your own version of somebody else's work.

"Hey guys, can you help me get this game installed on Windows 10?"
"You use Micro$oft Windows? Don't you know that software doesn't respect your freedoms? You should use GNU/Linux like me! BTW, I use Arch."
"Oh great, here come the freetards to derail the thread."

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."
