June 28th, a day in which the legacy of Billy Mays is remembered.

Maysday activities include the burning of ShamWows, wearing a royal blue polo with khakis and a white t-shirt underneath, running around asking people if they are on the ball, and most importantly, YELLING.

On 4chan, /b/ is renamed /billymays/ on Maysday and /b/tards are encouraged to type in all caps. This is where the holiday originated. Originally, every Monday after that was to be Maysday, but it was changed to every June 28th.
"HEY MAN, IT'S YOUR BUDDY HERE, WHAT'RE YOU DOING FOR MAYSDAY?"
"I BOUGHT THIS POLO AT WALMART FOR ONLY 19.95! IT LOOKS LIKE A $30 VALUE, BUT IT'S ONLY $19.95!"
"AMAZING!!!!!"

Some people may be wondering why anybody would yell "May Day" when they are in trouble. Here is why:

It derives from the French "m'aidez", pronounced "mayDAY," and means literally "help me."
If you are in distress while flying an airplane, calling "Mayday mayday mayday" over the radio will give you top priority and any help people on the ground or in the air can offer.

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.

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."
