The best band you've never heard of. Are hardly a "jam band" because they put every other band in the field to shame with their ridiculous musicianship. Consists of six accomplished musicians, half of which have college degrees in music. Songs are a mixture of technical, tightly composed music (featuring odd time signatures, unexpected key changes, and brilliant melodies), excellent lyricism, and UM's hilarious sense of humor, puncutated by the amazing guitar playing of Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger and drumming of Kris Myers. Definitely music for musicians, but can be enjoyed by all.

Too bad bands like Umphrey's McGee, Medeski Martin and Wood, and Bela Fleck are lumped into the jam band genre.

Umphreak

Umphreak (noun): generally, a fan of the progjam band Umphrey's McGee.

When in reference to a male, refers to an Umphrey's fan, who most likely has an embarrassing past history with acne and Rush or, worse yet, Dream Theater. Has since moved on to appreciate musical composition, has garnered respect for jazz, and now washes more regularly with soap.

When in reference to a female, refers to the rare girl with an advanced musical taste, a penchant for stimulating drugs and the inclination to sleep with anyone who knows the words to All Things Ninja. Will shake her ass to the 40's Theme after drinking.

Parent 1: My son sure does enjoy listening to Umphrey's McGee with your daughter. Reminds me of when my wife and I would listen to Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Pink Floyd.

Parent 2: Yes, but I doubt you ever humped your wife in rhythm to all the time signatures in Conduit like those two Umphreaks.

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.

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."
