furspective

The ability to feel, smell, sense and experience life from the unique level and experience of your beloved canine or feline fur-baby
I’m a vegetarian, but watching my dog Edie chewin on that pigs ear for six hours gives me some serious furspective on what it might feel like to dig my teeth into the chewy freeze dried flesh of another living thing. It just seems to make her so happy, and I want to feel that.

Flerspective 

The most popular ad hoc excuse used by a Flat Earther when cornered with problems that can be perceived by our own eyes such as objects behind the horizon, the existence of two celestrial poles, sunsets and so on. The term itself is not actually used by the Flerf who simply refers to it as "perspective" - but since it has ZERO to do with the ACTUAL laws of perspective, opponents of the Flat Earth came up with this portmanteau instead.

When pressed for details, the "explanation" given is basically an assault on your brain cells. It involves the "vanishing point" which is yet another real concept hijacked by the Flat Earth to suit their warped agenda. This vanishing point (which is conveniently as far away as the horizon would be on a globe) is the reason objects become smaller with more distance (except when it's the sun) and when reached, instead of being gone, the object has its lower half cut off because apparently that's how it works now ... for some reason.

Other variations include "You can only see so far!" which is a card often pulled when confronted with the question why we can't see the sun at night when it's allegedly always above the surface of the earth. Why this Nobel-Prize worthy discovery doesn't account for stars even further away than the sun is brilliantly explained with "Do your own research!"
Sane person: "Care to explain why ships go over the horizon if the earth is flat?"

Flattie boi: "Learn about perspective! When the ship is over the horizon, try zooming in with a pair of binoculars and your ship reappears ... so don't lie to me!"

Sane person: "Nope. After watching the videos you sent me, it turns out YOU were the one lying to ME. Never did you ever zoom in on a ship that is visibly behind the horizon - you simply claimed it was and after the zoom one could see it was never even close to the horizon. It's like a before-after-pic without the before-picture. Are you perhaps too dumb to know the difference between 'not visible' and 'obscured by the horizon'?"

Flattie boi: "Instead of calling me a liar, why don't you go out and --"

Sane person: "-- do it myself? I checked your little flerspective-excuse this morning. The ship doesn't budge one bit."

Flattie boi: "W-well, you didn't zoom HARD enough!"

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."
