noun.
The governmental media driven advertisement of ghetto life as a cool,fulfilling lifestyle choice.It uses the most effective forms of advertisement;movies, music and fashion and the purpose is not only to normalize the inhumane and cruel state of poverty but to glamourize it.Treating the ghetto as a product instead of as a social ill has created a fascination and desire in many to waste their lives in circumstances that were previously viewed as abhorrent like living under constant threats of violence,hunger,dilapidated housing,being silenced by fear and police brutality.Ghettotisment encourages people to make poor choices such as forgoing an education in favor of gang-life.It promotes loyalty to gang brothers but rejects meaningful romantic relationships.The bros before hos credo have young men embracing their brother and prostituting their women.Pimping, sexual and physical abuse and misuse of women are made to appear daring and sexy.Uncontrolled rage and violence,thuggery,car-jacking,armed robbery are stuff that makes a hero.Prison time has turned into the standard boy-to-man right of passage.Millions of innocent people are lured into criminal controlled neighborhoods fraught with cop-killers, recalcitrants,extortionists and gangs that prey on them. Rioting,looting,domestic terrorism and immoral codes of conduct are aplauded.Murder is commonplace.Ghettotisement creates mass acceptance of criminal militia forces controlling vast sections of cities.

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."
