Sweltrie
(noun)
1. A woman of mixed Swedish and Ulster‑Scot descent who carries the calm of the northern forests and the fire of the island clans.
Known for quiet competence, unshakeable loyalty, and the ability to run a kitchen, a household, or a small kingdom without raising her voice.
2. A Viking‑hearted partner who looks gentle until the moment you need her — then she becomes the storm you’re glad is on your side.
Often spotted wielding cast‑iron pans, strategic insight, and a look that can stop foolishness at twenty paces.
3. The embodiment of “don’t worry, I’ve got this,” delivered with Scandinavian steadiness and Ulster grit.
A Sweltrie doesn’t brag. She just does — and everyone else tries to keep up.

- Northern Hearth‑Commander: unofficial title, universally recognized.

An overpowering Mass Hickey given its name by the sheer force of the sucking power such that the remnant is a full-on Welt.
“Well, Mango did it again. He cc’d so many people on his last email about Javier’s sale that he must have given himself carpal tunnel syndrome. It was like he spent hours moistening his lips before he latched on for this one as he really left a bunch of Swelties. I bet that everyone who got the Sweltie had to run to the drug store for some salve. Mango needs to cc himself on some of these just so that he can grasp the feeling of a Sweltie. See Self Sweltie.

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.

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."
