An academic or a scholar that still maintains their ability to think critically and form informed opinions on topics within their field without the indulgence of “the company line “ or narrative that is in the mainstream. Note: these opinions are still fact based.

I heard that my professor was a misguided academic because she has first hand expertise unlike Bob on Twitter.

Misguided “Objectivity”

A rhetorical stance where someone claims to be “objective” while systematically dismissing, trivializing, or attacking one side of a conflict. Misguided objectivity mistakes neutrality for truth: it assumes that the most “balanced” position is to treat both sides equally, regardless of evidence or power dynamics. In online conflicts, it often looks like a moderator or bystander saying “I’m sure both sides have faults” when one side has been gangharassed for weeks. The stance serves to legitimize abuse by refusing to name it.

Misguided “Objectivity” Example: “When she asked for help with the mob targeting her, the mod said ‘I’m staying objective—I’m sure there’s fault on both sides.’ Misguided objectivity: using neutrality to excuse abuse.”

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."
