Freelance Police

A team (preferably a duo) hired by a police commissioner (preferably not seen) to take on cases and jobs (preferably none anyone in their right mind would do) for a meager wage (preferably in Hostess snack food and non-bootleg corndogs).

Only wisecracking overzealous crime stoppers fill this job. They are found loitering near convenience stores, have wanton disregard to the rules of the road, and take random things as "evidence". Cases handed to them always get done, but probably not in a way people expect them to be solved.

Person 1: Did you know Freelance Police curse in long hand?

Person 2: Well, semicolon apostrophe hyphen comma good for them!

v.

To degrade into a helpless spiral of in-jokes and bizarre plot twists so as to make it all but impossible for new viewers of a webcomic or show to become fans easily. See Red vs. Blue and Sluggy Freelance.

"Why is everyone's suit color in Red Vs. Blue different? And since when did the robot lose his head? Where did that guy come from!?"

Freelance Mascot

A definition that’s been the word of the day for a few days now. This fact is very worrying. The actual definition of ‘Freelance Mascot’ is ‘ A fun way to say furry!’.

Person 1: Hey, have you checked Urban Dictionary recently?
Person 2: Yeah, the same definition of ‘Freelance Mascot’ has been word of the day since the start of this week!

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
