Gawd, I Hate Light Pollution because it interferes so badly with my viewing of the stars & moon at night! There's so much better viewing in a small city or the countryside!

The information, technology, media, etc... that invades our everyday lives, that constantly bombards us and effects our minds.

iTunes Pollution

Songs on your iTunes that you don't really like. Maybe you liked them once and then got sick of them. Or maybe you downloaded them for free off of iTunes Discovery Downloads, thinking that you could learn to enjoy them, but never did.

Me: Hey, could you burn me some of your Three Day's Grace songs?

Hannah: Yeah, sure. Hey do you want some MIKA too?

Me: Nah, I'd never listen too it. It would just be more iTunes pollution.

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."
