Triëteris

A triëteris is the Greek name for the period within 3 tropical years where the Moon phase occurs around 3 days earlier.

It corresponds to 37 synodic months,

39.9914087638034 sidereal months, 40.152246109637005 draconic months, 39.653405866893394 anomalistic months, and 1,092.6317546296311 days.

It intercalates 3 lunar years (which’s 38.910559878295196 sidereal months,

39.067050268836 draconic months, 38.5816921948152 anomalistic months,

and 1,063.101166666668 days).

Though if you intercalate a triëteris, you get a long triëteris, which’s 38 synodic months, 41.072257649311595 sidereal months,

41.237441950438004 draconic months, 40.7251195389716 anomalistic months, and 1,122.162342592594 days, and is nearly 3 synodic periods of Saturn, making it useful for calculations new/full moons in opposition/conjunction with Saturn.

The triëteris is also useful for Greek festivities on a regular basis.

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."
