excessive force of the 'playa' voice, invented by the great and powerful johnny, led to this statement. taking the teaching of ol' dirty bastard and referring to the lyric "shimmy shimmy yah, shimmy yam, shimmy yay" under the 'playa' voice, the word became 'shimmay' with the extra 'a.' the word 'balls' would sound like 'bauws' in the playa voice. 'bauws' was a favorite word of the PBP crew at the time. one day, the great johnny opened his mouth, and forever is was... "SHIMMAY BAUW!"

yo mang, this taco makes a playa wanna holla... SHIMMAY BAUW!!!

Shimmay

(adj) a term to describe the feeling of fun and excitement while appearing to be bored and unthrilled. This word can also be used as a noun.

Ex.1: Let's hang out at my place and play some cards; it'll be a shimmay night.
Ex.2: I saw Jerry get his shimmay on at the bar last night.

Further Examples:
Jenny is quite the shimmay; her idea of a good time includes playing golf, watching movies, and chatting with her friends.
The opposite of someone who would be considered a "shimmay" or a "shimmarian" is someone who typically likes to "party" in the old fashioned sense of the word (dancing, drinking, etc.)
Another example of someone acting shimmay would be some guy totally shredding a guitar while keeping a very straight face.

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.

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."
