The present tense/active form of monologued. The act of delivering an involved stream-of-consciousness exposition or explanation, usually in an overly dramatic fashion, that completely halts the conversation. Like in a book or movie where the action screeches to a halt so the character can stand and deliver a huge load of backstory or explanation. Not always TMI or a rant, although those can be forms of monologuing.

Man, she just started monologuing and it was all over.

Bad Guy Monologue

The tendency of some "geniuses" to tell people of their master plan to destroy them before actually doing it. This usually results in the plan being foiled and said "evil mastermind" getting their comeuppance.

Multiple James Bond Films.

"Oh great, ol' Goldfinger's got diarrhea of the mouth again and is giving his 'Bad Guy Monologue' before he saws the guy in half with a laser..."

"One of these days that's going to bite him in the ass."

Xenologue

Also called a gaiden, this is a side story that has no consequence on the larger plot of a story. Xenologues are neither a prequel or a sequel. The content of a xenologue is generally consistent with the main story, but will not always be. Sometimes xenologues are entirely alternate stories, sometimes they are brief additions. They are often canon, but not always.

Have you seen the new xenologue? It adds a beach day in-between episode six and seven!

Inner monologue high

When you become so zooted (stoned) that you begin talk to yourself in the third person, while often creating imaginary people to have hypothetical conversations with. Essentially, you are having a conversation with multiple people that are within your mind discussing hypothetical situations that are often ridiculous and far-fetching.

Dude1: John, Look at that man cutting the grass! We need to stop him, he's murdering those blades of grass!

Pseudo-Dude2: Holy haberdashery John, you're right! He's a monster! Those poor blades of grass!

Pseudo-Dude3: Think about the baby grass blades! Watching their parents being gruesomely murdered and knowing that one day, they will be murdered too!

Dude1: Holy shit John, you're inner monologue high.

monologue

One person speaking alone, often to more than one other person without expected comment

Jay Leno might as well have a dialogue, since his band leader always laughs at the jokes that bomb and then continues to talk to Jay to make up for the silence afterwards

Moanologue

When all that comes out of someone's mouth is an endless stream of relentless, nonstop moaning.

Stay away from Joanna today, I just got a ten minute moanologue all about her crappy date last night.

Galantir

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."
