Not to be mistaken with The time, a band accompanied by Prince and one of director Kevin Smith's characters Jay and Silent Bob favorite bands.

The Times is used described as how life is going. It can be used to describe your life or how the world is doing.

Come gather round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
Youll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin
Then you better start swimmin
Or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin
(~ Bob Dylan, The Times They are a-changing)

The Times

British newspaper which is traditionally printed in broadsheet, but has now taken to also printing in a tabloid size after realising that no one was really buying and trying to appeal to younger readings.
Changes it's support depending on what it feels. Currently supports the Conservatives but supported Labour in the 2001 and 2005 general elections

Same person who owns The Times also owns The Sun and generally has the same journalists writing for both but under different names to make it seem as though they are seperate entites.

The Times has a crap readership and relies on The Sun being sold and used for advertising so it can make up for it's losses.

Run From the Times

A saying which states that one does not follow modern culture, no matter how good it may be (this is mainly due to people who were unsatisfied with the pop culture they grew up with and thus do not get with the times anymore).

A lot of 2010s kids run from the times pretty young.

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.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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."
