Yeah, we used to smoke that paraquat pot back in the 60s. They just don't make it like they used to.

paraquat lung

Urban legend. Smoking marijuana sprayed with paraquat has no ill effects. The myth was propagated by anti-drug activists to deter the smoking of pot in general.

Gullible Moron: Oh shit, I hope I don't have the paraquat lung from this shwagg
Enlightened Skeptic: Don't worry, that's just a myth constructed by the fascists and religious fundamentalists who want to legislate morality.

Paraquat lung

Lung disease caused by the contact herbicide paraquat which selectively accumulates in the lungs and is highly toxic. Once X-rays show changes from paraquat are evident in the lungs, death is virtually certain.

Paraquat lung emerged as a health concern in the 1970s, when the US government sprayed paraquat aerially over some illegal marijuana fields in Mexico. Some of the sprayed plants were harvasted prematurely before they died, causing paraquat lung in purchasers who smoked it.

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.

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."
