Clown Factor

The Clown factor is the fear of doing something brave, because you are afraid to fail and be clowned by your friends and family. This factor must be considered before attempting something crazy, because the benefits from succeeding may not outweigh the clown factor of failure.

Clown Factory 

A crowded place so chock full of morons doing stupid things that they must be manufacturing them in a back room; thus, a factory. An organization housing so many idiots, it almost seems intentional.
"Want to hit Daily Grill?"
"Are you kidding? That place is a total clown factory. Last time we went, some muppet backed his Land Rover into 2 parked cars and ran over a potted tree on his way out."

Clown Factory 

a) Any government run organization; the biggest clowns usually being those in management. The higher up the ladder someone is, the greater their "Clown Factor".

b) A place where common sense is exchanged for a promotion or management training, (Also known as "Clown School")...thus creating a factory of sorts, specifically of Clowns.

C) A place where the biggest clowns (management), create a circus like environment where incompetance and stupidity reins supreme and filters down into lower management ranks. The entry level workers are left confused, as they still possess common sense, and do not speak "Clownese". The Clowns constantly try to fix that which is not broken in order to justify their jobs, thus turning a happy well-functioning work environment into shit. Anyone with a brain is laid off or fired, and the Management Clowns start creating yes-man clones of themselves in the back room, thus a "Clown Factory".

"The Government is a real Clown Factory!"

"Man, I can't wait to find another job and get out of this clown factory!"

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.

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."
