A textbook feminist doesn't buy the whole modern feminist package of rape culture, widespread misogyny, man spreading, man splaining etc. A textbook feminist simply believes in the equality of the sexes.

"So, are you a feminist or not?"
"Just a textbook feminist."

Textbook fear

A type of anxiety or apprehension felt towards a situation or decision because it is commonly perceived as difficult, overwhelming, or universally feared, rather than based on personal experience. It’s the fear of facing something simply because it has been widely described as daunting, often amplified by societal expectations or common narratives.

I really want to move away for university, but the textbook fear of being on my own keeps holding me back.

college textbook

A poorly written "book" that you are forced by naive professors to purchase at outrageous prices. To curb the used market, the pages are renumbered, the cover changed, and the book republished as a "new edition" every few years.

Person #1: Dude, i just sold back all my college textbooks and got $80 dollars! Sweet!
Person #2: Do you remember what you paid for them?
Person #1: Yeah, $600. Why?
Person #2: Never mind...

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."
