linguistics

Linguistics is a field of study focusing on the structure of language. Completely captivating and impossibly satisfying.

A 2 year old child learns on average 9 new concepts a day. Somehow the brains of toddlers can intuit multiple abstract concepts over the course of a day. Do you remember what it was like to understand what a drain is? a lock? to sweat? to worry? to forget? glass? digestion? Linguistics explores the way people use language and its connection to the brain/cognitive development.

bow-linguistics

Gestures, finger-spells and handsigns taught to a dog in order to train 'him/her' to respond to English words as orders!

Bow-linguistics are not the end of the story: alongside the 'dogsitter' and the must-have 'chewy' or chew toy, there's 'canine-freestyling', or handling a K9 to the sounds of hip-hop music! Dogis (dog yogis!) that train your dogfriend some 'doga' and when your dog turns 13, you can throw him a 'Bark Mitzvah' party, or why don't you get a 'barkitect' to build your 'furkids' an uber-stylish doghouse --ooopsies! 'barkitecture'? 'Muttiquette' (mutt etiquette) comes handy for your 'companion animal' should you be in a public place and want to avoid unexpected behavior ; ] And, if you're feeling lonely go adopt a 'dogter' (she-dog daughter) and get her some kiddens (kid-replacement kittens) for company!

This must be, no...is TEOTWAWKI!

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."
