morbid validity 

something horrible or morbid in the written word, on film, or in an image, that explains itself in a way you can understand and/or appreciate. creating something horrible or morbid that is not simply to shock, scare, or disgust people.
Some of Edgar Allen Poe's work, like the Cask of Amontillado, had a sort of morbid vailidity behind it. (or) I saw that horror movie, Final Destination, and it seemed that most of the killings were done to shock people, it lacked morbid validity compared to a movie like Silence of the Lambs.

Law of Spectral Logical Validity

The principle that logical validity exists on a spectrum between absolute and relative, with infinite gradations and multiple dimensions. Under this law, an argument isn't simply valid or invalid—it's valid to some degree, in some logical systems, under some interpretations, for some purposes. The law of spectral validity recognizes that validity is not binary but continuous, that arguments can be more or less valid depending on the standards applied, and that the question isn't "is it valid?" but "where on the spectrum of validity does this argument fall?" This law is essential for understanding debates between different logical frameworks, where each side's arguments are valid within their own system but may appear invalid in another.
Law of Spectral Logical Validity Example: "She evaluated his argument using spectral logical validity, mapping it across multiple dimensions: validity in classical logic (high), validity in paraconsistent logic (medium), validity in fuzzy logic (depends on truth values), validity in everyday reasoning (pretty good). The spectral coordinates explained why the argument worked for some audiences and failed for others. She stopped calling it invalid and started understanding where it lived."

Law of the Fallacy Validity

The principle that under specific conditions, what appears to be a fallacy can actually be valid reasoning. The law acknowledges that context matters: an argument that commits a fallacy in one setting may be perfectly reasonable in another. Ad hominem, attacking the person, is fallacious in formal debate but valid when assessing credibility (you wouldn't trust a tobacco company's research on smoking). Appeal to authority is fallacious when the authority is irrelevant but valid when expertise is genuine. Slippery slope is fallacious when speculative but valid when causal chains are real. The law of the fallacy validity reminds us that fallacy labels are not absolute; they're tools, not weapons. What matters is not whether an argument fits a fallacy pattern but whether it's reasonable in context.
Example: "He accused her of ad hominem for mentioning the speaker's industry funding. She invoked the law of the fallacy validity: attacking the person is valid when their credibility is relevant. The funding mattered; the ad hominem was justified. He called it a fallacy; she called it context. She was right."

Appeal to Validity

A fallacy where someone argues that because an argument is logically valid (if premises true, conclusion must follow), it must therefore be sound (premises actually true). Or more commonly, using "that's not valid" to dismiss arguments that don't fit classical logical forms. The appeal is fallacious when it confuses formal validity with truth, or when it treats validity as the only criterion for good argument. An argument can be perfectly valid and completely false if its premises are wrong.
"I made an argument based on probability and context. Response: 'That's not logically valid!' They meant it didn't fit syllogistic form. But probabilistic arguments aren't supposed to be deductively valid—they're supposed to be inductively strong. Appeal to Validity: judging all arguments by standards that only apply to some."

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.

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."
