American Pie Show Challenge can be defined as showering in the time of the song American Pie by Don McLean. The goal is to wash and shave everything in as fast as you can before the song American Pie is finished.

I just completed the American Pie Shower Challenge in 7 minutes 30 seconds, WITH extra shaving!

showerpiphany

An epiphany--something that occurs to you, often deep and profound--that occurs to you while you're in the shower.

Many people, for some reason, do their best thinking in the shower. Maybe it's the quiet, distraction-free environment, or maybe it's the tingling feeling of water rushing over you that stimulates your senses and mind, but some of the best and most creative mind-work is often done at the least-convenient moment (i.e. when shampoo suds are falling into your eyes).

Showerpiphanies are often ephemeral, since (unless you have something waterproof to write with) you can't note them down, and once you get out of the shower and busy with other things, they're easy to forget.

Related: showerplan, when something that needs to be done occurs to you while you're in the shower, which you then forget as soon as you get out.

Will: Dude, I had a life-changing showerpiphany this morning.
Derek: What was it?
Will: No idea. I forgot it as soon as I got out of the shower.
Derek: You need to invent a waterproof recorder to record all your showerpiphanies.
Will: THAT WAS IT!! That was totally my showerpiphany. Thanks, bro!
Derek: I'll take a 30% royalty for jogging your memory.

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.

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."
