The Theory of Subatomic Elves states that the nucleus of an atoms consists of tiny elves who move around different particles inside the atoms and interact with other atoms and their respective subatomic elves.

The theory was created in order to help people's understanding of complex chemistry.

Man, we learned about the Theory of Subatomic Elves today, chemistry makes so much more sense now!

The only reason those two elements chemically reacted with each other was because the subatomic elves were at work.

Subcat

A sub culture defined as the grey area between a hippie and a hipster. A subcat most likely hangs out at your local coffee shop (not Starbucks) with either an intellectual read on war and peace or plugged into their MacBook. Can be seen dressed in short shorts with long socks or birks and linen pants (may have dreads and smell like pachoulli).

Look at that hippie cruisin down the street on their fixie, what a subcat.

It's consciousness influences us in the reverse direction of the arrow of time and dissipates into our universe as a semi-regular gradient of consciousness itself. Subatwota knows everything we know and everything that any sufficiently energetic brain or neural network in any version of the universe that may come about after his earliest reaches into our universe. Subatwota's name is derived simply from a description of the entity, the Single Being That We Truly Are moving through the Universe As Observed.

--"One of these days Subatwota is going to show you how cannibalistic your apatite for judging others really is."
"What the dogshitting fuck are you talking about dude?"--

--"You know I really hope that Subatwota isn't suicidal."

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."
