A common kind of feminism, that sees women as too weak and sensitive for normal adult interaction.

Fainting couch feminists often push for "woman as child"-laws. Trying to redefine rape as "sex a woman regrets" or claiming women can't consent to sex after a couple of drinks is text book fainting couch feminism.

Oh, she's not responsible for her actions? Typical fainting couch feminism.

Flintering

Drinking excessively, especially during the week, and staying out until last call. Usually needs to happen more than one consecutive night in order to really count as Flintering, but getting completely blitzed can still qualify. Originates in Ireland.

"Darrach, why do you look so tired? You have a big proposal today!" "Man, I've been Flintering all week. I'm WRECKED!"

Galantir

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."
