When a fad or affectation has outlived its coolness, one can declare a moratorium on it. It's a polite way to express one's rage at seeing something silly continue in perpetuity.

1. White chicks with dreadlocks; I'm declaring a moratorium on that.
2. I'm declaring a moratorium on the faux-hawk. It's been co-opted by too many frat boys.
3. I believe it's time to declare a moratorium on the fart app for iPhone.

Lower-Intergovernmental Moratorium Agency (LIGMA)

Lower-Intergovernmental Moratorium Agency was established on February 10th, 2022, as an organisation responsible for postponing people's faults in the field of modern Internet: any bad thing that was said on Twitter, any opinion that is slightly controversial on any social media platform, any demonetized video on Youtube can be morally forgiven and reinforced with rhetorical support of us, LIGM Agency. Also this structure implies the existence of yet again one more LIGMA abbreviation, which you can use in case you are asked or just for fun. Right now, the agency consists of 'two and a half' people and is relatively unknown. LIGMA understands that reviving a dead meme might not be so funny, yet it still has its own style and feel. Also there is HIGMA (H stands for Higher), but we can't obtain much information about it.

- Yesterday I called LIGMA!
- So, what did they Lower-Intergovernmental Moratorium Agency (LIGMA) tell you?
- That hating black people can't be forgiven. I guess I'll still have to delete my tweet about slavery.

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."
