This can be either serious or ironic. If uncertain, please refer to said person’s vocabulary, their mental health history, and the specific situation before responding accordingly. If you’re still unsure, it’s best to ask the person how they meant it and try to be supportive because it can be risky to accidentally brush it off as sarcastic when it isn’t. Always show the ones you care about that you care!

It can be used to represent two different emotions:

1. The person actually wants to kill themself. Typically not used in a joking conversation but use what you know about the person before responding. Do they say it often? Did they end the statement with a period? Did they say sorry/thanks before or after? If they seem sad or reserved, please check in on them. Especially if they start a conversation like this and don’t immediately follow it up with something annoying that happened.

2. This person is either frustrated or embarrassed. Something shitty probably happened to them and this is how they’re expressing that emotion. Feel free to remain wary if someone uses this too much however, because there’s a chance it could be a cry for help. However, try to avoid pointing it out mid-conversation to avoid awkwardness or discomfort. If you can, try to check in on your friend more and make time for them; suffering or not, I’m sure they appreciate it

I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF

You're so fed up and frustrated, to a state where "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF!!!" seems like the only proper response to the situation. Sometimes followed by "In Minecraft." to censor, show insincerity, or make it seem less concerning.

I've been on hold with Veterans Affair for 3 hours, I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF!

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."
