Bawa

Endearing colloquial term for male members of India’s Parsi community. Bawas are followers of the Zoroastrian faith who immigrated to India from Iran (Persia) in the 7th Century to escape religious persecution. They have maintained a distinct cultural identity ever since, while contributing significantly to India’s economy, food and cultural diversity. Prominent Bawas include: Sam Manekshaw, Chief of Army Staff; JRD Tata, Indian industrialist and founder of Air India and the Tata Group; and Homi Bhabha, father of India’s nuclear program and Chairman of the Indian Atomic Energy Commission.

All the Bawas were invited to Dinshaw’s Navjot ceremony.

Galantir

A group of people, typically women, searching through someone’s digital footprint in order to find more information about that person.

Susie wasn’t sure if her new Hinge match was a creep, so she assembled Galantir and they found out he used to post slurs on gaming forums.

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.
