The Local is a local neighborhood person with a mental illness who kids hang out with and taunt and make fun of, thinking the local doesn't know better.

Still I think the locals enjoy the time they spend with the other kids despite the misdeeds of the neighborhood kids.

Locals are a great group to hang with as their perspective on life is so different it can add insight to your own.

The Local was so strong from his disregard to the limitations of strength, when he played football, he picked us up by the head about 4 feet off the ground and yelled "SQUUUUUEEZZE, KAAAH-RUNCH" while squeezing and crunching our heads (really really hard)

Even though he was terrible at football and insisted on wearing a helmet he could slump the other kids onto the sidelines and put them out of commission with a single blow (but he was somewhat careful, but he didn't know better sucks for the sideliners, lol)

The local was a great guy to hang with cause you never knew what to expect and a great person to have on your team though professionally I think he'd get misconduct flags every play, lol.
The Local by GhettoNeophyte February 18, 2009
A place you didn’t plan to stay long but somehow always end up closing.

Not necessarily the closest venue to your house, but the one that feels like it is. Built on familiar faces, questionable decisions, and the unspoken agreement that “just one” never means one.

Equal parts comfort and chaos - where friendships are formed, group chats are made, and next weekend’s plans accidentally sort themselves out.

You don’t go to The Local for a big night. You go because you already feel a part of it.

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."
