Desi Ploughman’s 

Desi Ploughman’s
(noun)

The Southall site special. Happens when the lads finish a long day laying bricks, crack open a lukewarm Kingfisher, and someone (always Gurdeep) bends Choda over the edge of a Punjab Skip. These skips are legendary — piled high with broken wardrobes, fagged-out mattresses, and that one mystery fridge buzzing like it’s possessed.

Harps is still in his hi-viz, pounding him raw like he’s tilling fields in Punjab, while Dhunna’s slapping his arse cheeks so hard they echo off the corrugated metal. Manvir’s got his phone out, geotagging “Southall Broadway” with the caption “ploughman’s lunch, served fresh.” The whole time, Gurdeep hasn’t even dropped his sandwich — one hand ploughing, the other hand munching on a sweaty cheese & pickle sarnie from Tesco like it’s part of the ritual.

By the end, the skip’s rocking like a dhol drum, Tesco’s meal deal wrappers are stuck to someone’s back, and the stench of sweat, Red Bull, cheddar, and disappointment hangs over the yard.
Example in a sentence:
“Fam, I caught these lot after work doing the Desi Ploughman’s in a Punjab Skip — man’s hi-viz was still zipped up, steel toe boots on, and he was eating a cheese and pickle sandwich mid-stroke.”

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.

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."
