The Role 

Also "the fag role". In Illinois juvenile male prisons, this refers to a subculture built up around prisoners having same sex sexual contacts with each other. It can range from touching or grabbing, to exposure, to full intercourse. There is an ever changing series of hand signals and code words that go along with this practice. For instance, making a "farting" noise with your mouth means you want anal sex to be performed on you. Sticking up one thumb or rubbing the thumb and forefinger together are also invitational signals. The phrases "in ya" or "I've said my piece" can be worked into regular conversation, and are also invitational in nature. Juveniles leaving these prisons often continue to "play the role" with others who are aware of the practice.
Yo, when I was in the DOC, sure I played the role, but so did everyone, even the guards.

The role of government 

According Ben Shapiro the role of government is to protect HIM. Protect his religion. Protect his stuff from the rabble. Protect his stuff and religion from foreigners. Ha! Governmommy!
Hym "The role of government is to protect Ben. That's it. That's his entire thing. Protect his kids from SEEING a tranny of anything that might make them question their religious presuppositions. Protect HIM from getting his stuff taken (But OBVIOUSLY not ME, HYM, But HIM instead of me (because my stuff is being taken)). Keep people who might change how the government works from EXCLUSIVELY PROTECTING HIM to something else. I mean, the shit-libs just want to replace religion use it as a tool to force people to behave how they want them to behave. Just as bad but stoll better than the religion."

Acting the role of the fool 

If a picture can tell a thousand words, but actions speak louder than words, your boombox has the traits of a compulsive liar.

I should thank you for the life lesson. When you're unsure of what someone is truly feeling, let them do what they want to do and they will show you what they want to do. You said you wanted what I wanted, but you didn't do what you said you would.
You kept showing me who you are and what you want, when am I going to stop acting the role of the fool and believe you.

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."
