To use jargon specific to an area of expertise you and at least one of the people you're talking to understands that is unfamiliar to other people around you; thus excluding them from your conversation.

Civil engineering student 1: "Hey, check out that spiral reinforced column over there, I wonder what the dead load is on that member?"

Civil engineering student 2: "About as much as I load on your mom every night."

Dumbass arstie: "Despite the jargoning, I understand you just burned your friend pretty good, huh?"

Jasoning Yourself

"Jasoning Yourself" is when you have an idea on how to improve something or a process and you make a suggestion to a group of people. Then, because of your suggestion, you're asked to do the thing you suggested.

"Bob, I think while on the trip we should go float the river." "Jack, that's a great idea! Why don't you look into setting that up. Thanks for Jasoning yourself!"

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."
