EKT (Everyone Knows That/Ulterior Motives)

In 2021, a user known as "Carl92" uploaded a 17 second snippet on the website "watzatsong.com" (a website used for identifying songs through community efforts and interactions), later to be dubbed as "Everyone Knows That".

It gained widespread attraction after futile attempts to try and find it, making it a famous part of lost media. Around the internet, it is commonly associated with a picture of a pink boombox on a lush, pink carpet-like surface. However, this image has nothing to do with the song and is only a placeholder.

The song features an 80s style music progression in low quality, with a catching set of lyrics. It has developed a community determined to find it on reddit (r/everyoneknowsthat) with over 10K members, as well as many Discord communities filled with both fans and investigators.

The most commonly accepted lyrics of this snippet are:

"You're counting all the sheep in the sky,
Caught up in your world of lies,
Everyone knows that you've got,
Ulterior motives (Tell me the truth)
Every move shows-" (Audio cuts out from here)

It has been covered widely in videos by various YouTubers, uploading known details about the snippet, as well as "Carl92" who mysteriously disappeared days after uploading the song. It has also gained attention on platforms such as TikTok.

The origin of the singer and the full song remains a mystery to this day.

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."
