inverse specificity law 

A natural law that dictates that the depth and accuracy of your task description is inversely proportional to the importance of the task. You will be given a ten-page written specification on preparing an invitation for five customers to come to morning coffee, a tax audit report will be requested in an email consisting of a single paragraph, while a request to revise the organization's entire cost structure will be delivered verbally in a single sentence.
CEO: Bernie, our database manager left and we need a report of all customers who bought semi-spleeted widgets in the northwest region since the beginning of the month. There's a potentially fatal fault and we need to do a product recall.
Bernie: Sure, right away! What's the product code for semi-spleeted widgets, and what's the region code?
CEO: Dunno. The database manager left. But it's all in the database. Just do it.
Bernie: Hmmm... the inverse specificity law indicates that this task must be critically important!

specificity

A CSS rule that states that in case of conflict, the properties of the most specific selector is applied.
For example: if we make all tables bold, but make all table cells have a normal weight, the latter rule will be applied. This is because "table cell" is more specific than "table".

Specificity

Is that what it was? I don't know if that sounded like GENERALIZED statements about "dating and being a business owner." Sounded like "contextualized statements specifically about RECRUITMENT"
Hym "You sure? I mean, if it doesn't have anything to do with the case at hand... then saying this won't have an effect on anything... So... You sure the specificity of the statements doesn't make it NOT that? Heheheh... You sure you weren't trying to prove that the thing I said was correct? That if you can fuck them you can do whatever you want to them UP TO AND INCLUDING getting them to make you an inordinate amount of money with greater ease then every man on the planet? Maybe slap them around a little bit in the bedroom? Huh? Heheheheheheh... How would you say it differently? I mean... What you were trying to say in the video? How would you have said it? Would you have said 'A guy on urban dictionary told me how to make millions of dollars without any real effort so just did that and I made my first million exactly 1 year after he said it?' is that what you would have said? How about 'See, if you make em nut, then, you can (kind of) subtlety convince them to leave their FAMILY (which I care so much about) and turn them into little money factories and if you stack up enough of them you get 1 million dollars for little more than having a fat cock?' Is that how you would have said it? Eheheheheheh... This is fun. You're a fun guy Andy. Heh... I love being right. It really is my favorite thing. Lucky for me, Dr. Phil hasn't gotten a hold of me. I'd be in a rape farm. That wouldn't be fun. Alright. Love ya buhbye!"

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.

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."
