Post-Avatar Depression 

Share definition Flag
A sadness or depression at the fact of not being able to live in a fictional world usually presented in a film, video game or book. It was given a name after the release of James Cameron's Avatar when a large amount of people expressed this feeling going as far as to say they are suicidal on internet forums. This phenomenon would later go on to inspire the creation of the Reality Shifting TikTok trend (Which is just dreaming, despite what the 14 year old girls would want you to believe.)
James: I'm really depressed after reading Harry Potter. I want to live in that world so bad.
Cameron: Well James, what you're feeling is Post-Avatar Depression. It'll go away in a few weeks.

Post Avatar Depression, also known as P.A.D., occurs to a person after seeing the movie "Avatar" (By James Cameron) after immediately realizing they had fallen victim to a runaway hype train, and wasted their time and money on a blatantly derivative movie that sucks even more than the terrible movies it ripped off to begin with.
Guy 1: Wow that movie was complete trash. Just awful.

Guy 2: *Sniff* I'm such a sucker.
Guy 1: Dude, are you crying?
Guy 2: Bro... I'm a sap. I knew the movie was just Dances with Wolves in space, but Hollywood leaned on the media to ram it down our throats so hard. I just... I really bought a whole car on the hype train and it's just the worst sci-fi movie since Battlefield Earth.
Guy 1: Aww shit... looks like Post Avatar Depression...
Guy 2: I need a hug and to rewatch Andor immediately.

murderhobo 

Share definition Flag
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...

Whale 

Share definition Flag
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."
