Syro-Malabar Catholics are heavily latinized Oriental Catholics from Kerala, India who consider themselves to be "Roman Catholic". They are the Indian diocese of the Church of the East (East Syriac Rite) that came in full communion with the Holy See of Rome in the 16th century. Syro-Malabarians employ the Liturgy of Ss. Addai and Mari. There are dioceses outside India, such as Chicago (USA), Melbourne (Australia), Great Britain, and Mississauga (Canada). They are primarily of the Malayali ethnic group and speak Malayalam. Although there are a minority of Tamils, Telugus, and North Indians from the various eparchies in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, and northern & western India. Syro-Malabarians share the East Syriac liturgy with the Chaldean Catholics, Oriental Catholics from Iraq.

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."
