baphomet

1) A goat headed "demon" so to speak. The Knights Templar, a crusading order established by Hughes de Paynes in Jerusalem after the First Crusade, were accused of worshipping it. The Inquisition found them of such worship, and hence they were burned by the hundreds at the stakes, and they were also tortured..

2) Baphomet also has his place among Thanks Giving Tradition. The horn, with great amounts of food pouring fourth, is actually the horn of Baphomet. Baphomet is a God of Fertility, not of anything demonic or evil. It's evil image was crafted by the Church.

3)Name of an evil entity or the devil according to Eliphas Levi, depicted in his book Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, written in 1854.

1) Pope Clement and King Philippe of France had the Knights Templar put on trial for worshipping Baphomet.

2) Almost every Thanks Giving, you will see an image of Baphomet, his horn.

3) Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie depressed me because the writer did bad research on Baphomet.

3) Is it just me, or does Belisarius have seem to be the only one who actually knows something?

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."
