High school calculus done right™️

As a well-established branch of pure mathematics, real analysis is known for being notoriously hard. This is due to hoardes of ill-prepared students not realizing that they've only studied baby mathematics previously.

Charles: Man, I thought calculus in high school was legit until I studied real analysis for the first time.
James: Yeah, it's the point in my life where I understood that my analysis of math just got real.

get real

When someone tells you to get real, they want you to get a reality check and to stop behaving as though you're living in a fantasy world.
Could apply to pretty much anyone or anything (as in a company or organisation) that mentally is not living in reality.
Examples can include companies paying their employees minimum wage while demanding preformance and duties etc that someone willing to preform them is worth at least twise that. On the other side of the coin, it can also include employees demanding pay that is far in excess of what the company can realistically afford to pay them.
Basically anyone or anything that expects something that just isn't realistic, saying 'get real' means to tell them to stop being unrealistic.

Employee: I demand $75,000 a year, a company car, 50,000 shares of the company's stock, every benifit imaginable and a months vacation every year to start.
Interviewer: Get real, this is a burger flipping job, not an executive job.

It's free real estate

A phrase originated from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! which has since been turned into a popular meme.

The phrase can either be expressed literally, in reference to real estate that is "free" (like when a spider inhabits the corner of a room), or figuratively, as to ironically express a "good deal" which is actually an obvious scam.

Person 1: Who left this dirty old refrigerator box in my front yard!!?

Person 2:(waves Person 1 in closer) *Whispers* it's free real estate.

Get Real

Getting real is the act of giving yourself a reality check. If a person is trying to convince you of something unrealistic, you tell them to "Get Real." Get Real is also a title that you can earn in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 by winning one match of Hadcore Team Deathmatch.

1. You honestly play hardcore teamdeathmatch? You need to get real.

2. Eric: Dylan, why are you lying prone camping in spawn

Dylan: Because its a good strategy and I'm worried about my kill to death ratio.

Eric:Dylan, seriously you need to get real. You need to sack up and attack like the rest of us.

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."
