Dante's The Inferno

Quite possibly one of the most influential books in an entire era. Dante Aligheri is the author of The Inferno which is an epic story of how Dante crosses the nine circles of hell. The poetic form is what is currently known as a tursa rema. Dante himself was the first writer who entered Europe into the Renaissance because of his reforms in writing and his general genius and influence over an entire continent.

"Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine Omnipotence, The highest Wisdom and the primal Love. Before me there were no created things, Only Eterne, and I eternal last. All hope abandon, ye who enter in!"
-Inscription of the gates of hell Canto III

I can't dance

1. Song by Genesis
2. Dance only performed by the truest.
3. Dance includes:
a. Overexaggerating the "IIIIII!!!"
in the "I can't dance" lyric.
b. Slowly walking in a straight
line of about 4 people moving
each arm and leg forward at the
same time (e.g. right hand
forward, right leg forward)

To master the dance, watch Genesis' "I Can't Dance" video repeatedly.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII can't dance, IIIIIII can't walk"

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.

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."
