A unique TYT (The Young Turks) response to any lame attempt at humor, roughly analogous to the "wah wah wahhhhhh" muted trumpet sound frequently used in '60s era sitcoms and elsewhere to punctuate a rather obvious or trite joke. Cenk has used "shwang wang wang" this way in his personal lexicon for many years, but later appended it with "Debbie Schlussel" to mock the tone and delivery of the Michigan-based conservative blogger's unintentionally hilarious YouTube videos. See also "Debbie Downer."

Debbie: "The queen of daytime talk has endorsed B.O.... no, not the smelly B.O., but the Presidential B.O."

Cenk: "Schwang wang wang, Debbie Schlussel"

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...

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."
