James J Corbett aka Gentleman jim was a profesional boxer who fought during the late 19 century, many consider him to be the father of modern boxing and the one who turn boxing from a sweet science to an artform, he got his chance at the heavyweight title when he beat the great american bareknuckle fighter called John L Sullivan, it was sullivan's first fight with gloves, which cost him his only loss, after that sullivan retired.

Corbett went up to loose the title to bob fitzsimmons in 1897, he fought peter jackson in 1893 to a 60 round NO CONTEST (Fights back then that went the distance were declared a "NO CONTEST").Corbett went up to fight the heavyweight champion james jeffries but was quickly knocked out, so was in their 2nd fight, after the 2nd fight corbett retired from the boxing ring, he turned into james jeffries's trainer during the 1910 fight of the decade of jack johnson (who was the heavyweight champion) v.s james jeffries, many whites were looking for a "WHITE HOPE" to bring the title back to the white race, apparently jeffries being away for 6 years cost him the only loss in his career.

After the jeffries fight, corbett retired completely from the ring and played in many movies and acting in theaters, he passed away in NEW YORK at the age of 66 of cancer.

Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy

A series of films created by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, starring Pegg and Nick Frost in the lead roles. Each film takes a specific film genre and makes and effort to Pilgrimize it. The first two installments, "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz," Pilgrimize zombie movies and buddy cop/action movies, respectively. The currently in-production third film, "The World's End" is supposed to apply the Pilgrimization technique to sci-fi films.

The name is derived from the fact the each film, in addition to featuring copious amounts of blood, features of different flavour of Cornetto ice cream. Red Strawberry for "Shaun of the Dead," Blue Classico for "Hot Fuzz," and Mint-Green Chocolate Chip for the upcoming "The World's End" (tennative).

Also known as the Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.

As an expert on all things lulzy, I declare Edgar Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy to be the most effective attempt at genre satire to date.

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.

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."
