Marawandering 

alternatively: (merriwandering)
When one goes for a walk in no particular direction for no particular reason. Normally one does so with good company so as to avoid thinking about where one goes. At the end of a marawander one should be at least an hour away from home and should only return with good stories and excuses as to why others were not notified of their absence.

HISTORY:

The term marawandering is a Boston-Irish corruption of the long-lost Irish folk lyric "merrily I go a-wandering" by Shamus Hack-Fierson.

MISCONCEPTIONS:
It does not originate from the time John and Dan misunderstood a deeply stoned individual who was attempting to say the name of a plant species at Hempfest.
If one uses any sort of disruption to your normal state of being whilst marawandering, well, that's just missing the point.

TRIVIA:
Returning with a Boston @ Nite is considered a rite of passage in many parts of the country.

NOTE:
If, for whatever reason, it has nothing to do with what what you presumed it did, please note:

That just goes to show you. At this moment you should reconsider some things. Go and do something productive-- get a job at the very least! Smoking' is Jokin'!

Damn Hippies.
Coco Joe: "Shall we go marawandering, King John?"

King John: "'Tis a novel idea Coco!"
Mr. Dragonsandwich: "Whereto?"

Dunjon Master: "Yes! Where?!"
In Unison: "HAHAHAHAHA"
Coco Joe: "Jolly good spoof, old chaps!"

King John: "Haha Indeed! We lead the road and I say TITS to all naysayers!"
Mr. Dragonsandwich: "Yes but at all costs DON'T TELL @#$%."

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.

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."
