Carlinism

Carlinism is a philosophical and conceptual framework concerned with the critical examination of belief systems, constructed narratives, language, and perceived meaning in human society. It focuses on how assumptions are formed, reinforced, and challenged, emphasizing skepticism toward authoritative claims and socially inherited interpretations of reality.

Warm calling

Similar to cold calling. The person you're calling still doesn't know you or expect your call, but you happen to know someone who they know and like. By referral the ice is broken, and the call is warmer in temperature.
Salesperson: "I need to make a few calls, was there anyone at that networking breakfast who you think I should try?"

Friend: "Ya, try Pete Mullholland, he's the manager at Vandelay Industrial Supplies--we got along great"

Salesperson: "Finally I'm warm calling for a change"

The Caulin Davis Effect

The product of including someone in your band, only to realize shortly that your band now sucks horribly. Symptoms include excessively being made fun of, the odd desire to add two-stepping to all your performances, frequently getting the stinkeye from others, or just sucking all together.
Woah man, why is it every band that this guy is in sucks?

That, my friend, is The Caulin Davis Effect at work.
