The spirit of courage to speak and fight for the underdogs.

This term is coined to honour the late YB Karpal Singh also known as the Tiger of Jelutong's who fought fearlessly to uphold justice in both his legal and political careers.

He was a fearless man. He practised Karpalism in fighting for justice.

Mein Kampf test

An awareness test for social justice bloggers. Before making a post:

1. Replace "straight" / "white" / "male" / "cishet", and the like with equivalent words for minorities targeted by the Nazis (Jews, Gypsies, blacks...).

2. Replace words such as "women", "trans", "lesbian", etc with Nazi-friendly terms (Aryans, Germans, master race...).

3. If the result sounds like Nazi propaganda or something that could be right out of Hitler's Mein Kampf, it it passes the Mein Kampf test.

Example:

Original: 'I don't understand how people get so offended when a women says she hates all men. Hating men isn't "sexism" it's common sense.'

Mein Kampf test: 'I don't understand how people get so offended when an Aryan says she hates all jews. Hating jews isn't "racism" it's common sense.'

If you find yourself passing the Mein Kampf test, you should probably reconsider your social justice blogging habits.

Krapf

An expletive that can be used much the same as "crap," but is less mainstream. It has the potential to sound like German, prompting many to ask for a repeat and to inquire as to the meaning and root of the word.

Krapf is derived from the American bus company KRAPF Buses. The company's motto is "The only way to go". It is true: The only way to go IS to take a krapf.

Krapf! The toast ALWAYS falls butter-side-down.

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."
