A "Real Author" is someone who has at least 500 people show up for book signings. It has nothing to do with being an international best seller or owning your own mountain purchased through your book sales. It only has to do with how many people show up to get you to sign their books.

"So, how many people are out there?"
"There's about 200 in line!"
<sigh>"Still not a Real Author"

Authority boner

When a someone, who generally has no authority, is given authority. Thusly, resulting in an erection due to over confidence and an inflated self-worth

When the mall cop saw some kids loitering where they shouldn't be; he instantly got an authority boner at the thought of kicking them out of the mall.

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...

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."
