The People's Republic of Johnson County 

Share definition Flag
A nickname for Iowa City, Iowa. Used derisively by some and proudly by others, the nickname refers to the liberal political philosophy of Johnson County, especially in contrast to the surrounding counties and state. Johnson County elects Democratic and/or Liberal candidates in rates uncharacteristic of the state of Iowa. The creation of this liberal enclave probably came about because of the University of Iowa.

As many students of the University will agree, the liberal nature of the area is also probably accounted for by the large number of Chicago area natives who have moved to the area. Many Iowans living in Johnson County and/or attending the university keep their conservative views.

This nickname is thought to be derived from the writings of a conservative reporter in Des Moines, Iowa.
The political views expressed in the People's Republic of Johnson County are typical of the kind expressed in scholarly, educated areas. The reason it is noteworthy in Iowa City is because the surrounding area is very conservative and rural.

murderhobo 

Share definition Flag
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.

Whale 

Share definition Flag
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."
