A quick and curt way to end a conversation, putting a thin polite spin on the rude abruptness.

Most uses of this phrase are referencing actor Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka in the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," where Wonka informs Charlie he has lost the contest because he drank the burp soda, a breach in the contract he signed. "You lose! Good day, SIR!" Wonka screams at Charlie before turning back to his desk.

Linking to an animated gif of the scene with the audio intact is a popular way to assert you are done with an argument on the internet.

"You lose! Good day SIR!"

Good Day Sir

One day, two marijuana enthusiasts smoked some rather potent weed. This weed did things to them like nothing they had ever smoked before. At the end of the night one of the stoners dropped off the second stoner, but before driving away he shouted "Good Day Sir" and drove off without saying another word. Ever since that day stoners occasionally use this expression in place of saying "goodbye"

DMS: See ya man, I'm out.

Jeff: GOOD DAY SIR!

DMS: Good day.

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."
