Data Hound

Someone that digs through sheets and sheets of data to find a single entry, event, etc.

There was an error last night and we're not sure what happened; let's ask Mike to look at the logs, he's a real data hound.

Data Guilt

When you believe that the data your have in your computer system is more messed up than the data in everyone else system.

I've got Data Guilt. I'm embarrassed every time I run a report. I'm afraid to ask my team to clean up our Salesforce - our data is so much worse than the customer service system's data.

Big Data Energy

The confident energy emitted by businesses harnessing their big data (large quantities of incoming and outgoing data) through data analytics & visualization and don't have to tell anyone about it. The energy speaks for itself. The big D energy tells its own story of bold, informed decisions. Every business strives for big D energy. Only a few possess such a gift. Businesses with big D energy possess qualities such as a competitive advantage, stickiness, being future-proof, and having the ability to easily pinpoint their pain points and monetize their data.

Wow, that business has Big Data Energy and is flourishing, because its management makes real-time, informed decisions. They must have Big D Insights dashboards!

Thick data

Thick data is qualitative information that provides insights into the everyday emotional lives of consumers. It goes beyond big data to explain why consumers have certain preferences, the reasons they behave the way they do, why certain trends stick and so on.

Data scientist 1: so what did u do this weekend?
Data scientist 2: dude, I've been running some regressions on this data set. My dataset so thick bro! Wanna see? (Pulls out laptop)
Data scientist 1: dayum son, dat data thicc tho! I'd run regressions on dat all night.

Data scientist 2: I actually did. My laptop has slow processing speed. It takes several hours to process thick data.

Data Piggy

A tech sector Venture Capitalist who stuffs their little piggy faces on people's private information until their little piggie overall buttons pop off their engorged little piggy bodies.

A data piggy out of Silicon Valley invested in my favorite app and now they're following me across the web, slopping up all of my private information.

Data Bandit

An entity (i.e. person or machine) which uses data they do not have permission to use, in a way that is malicious and/or exploitative.

I heard Northwind Group's web servers were breached and they were held to ransom by data bandits.

Beholder data

Data that is created by you but stored and owned by a company. The company displays it to you but you do not have any rights to it. Typically the company says it's not used by anyone else but you and you have the rights to it but in practice the data is really hard to download or use by anything else than the company's own products.

- Hey, the data is harmless let Google have it. I mean what can they do with it?
- What if you want to use it to something else, like controlling your Samsung device?
- I can just download it, no problem, right?
- Nah man, its beholder data only.
