A Canadian term for a career politician, one whose main goal is to climb the party ladder and get power, not to make real change or help his constituents. Typically reserved for members of the Conservative Party of Canada who hold neoliberal economic views and who advocate socially liberal policies. Called brownshoes due to their habit of wearing poor quality, badly fitted blue suits with clunky brown shoes to look casual and "appeal" to middle class voters.

"Did you see Jason Kenney and Andrew Scheer at the Gay Hindus for Free Trade fundraiser last night? Kenney was dancing with a transsexual, and he calls himself conservative..."

"Doesn't surprise me, he's a brownshoe, he'll sell out to anyone to win votes"

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.

Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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."
