Used to describe something, usually a phrase or a line in a song, that sounds slightly mystical. Nonsensical on the surface, but when you stop and think about it, it actually makes perfect sense. Usually involves larger words and rolls off the tongue pretty well with a nice rhythm.

This is a commonly noted writing style of red-tied Tally Hall guitarist Joe Hawley.

"Infallible confusion infused" and "I had dreams of grandeur" sound very Hawley-esque.

Howler Monkey

A co-worker who isn't very productive, generates a lot of noise and metaphorically throws shit everywhere.

Haylered

Meaning you have been done over, mugged off, tucked up or royally shafted.

Will Hayler has particularly dirty perpetual habit of mugging people off, ripping them off and generally tucking people up, so much so that the phrase "You've been Haylered" was born - meaning that you now join the long list of people Will has professionally and personally mugged off. Don't worry you aren't alone. (The phrase is now common parlance in the south-west of England.)

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."
