very carefully

A random punchline that can occur in a conversation showing intense mental prowess and wit... It also makes you douche bag number one. Totally satirical and not pending to the conversation, you're random interjection will at least garner a laugh, or at worst stop the conversation awkwardly.

Usually this can be followed by an OH SNAP to make it seem like it was a score for your team. However, like the song that never ends, anal sex, and zylon b, too much will make you hated by your peers and friends.

To use this (USE VERY CAREFULLY) is a small step process.

STEP 1. The Question: It must be a question asked using the word HOW and have a context: How can we accomplish, how can this happen, etc. Are acceptable. However, How do these two things relate, how are we different, how much is it? cannot be used unless you wanna randomly fuck with people.

STEP 2: Upon the person setting up the context, and you cluing in, quickly blurt out the answer: "VERY CAREFULLY" keep in mind that timing is key, 1-2 seconds max, it has to be clear, and concise right after the "setter-upper" asks the question. Too late and it will not make sense or someone will provide a different solution, such as a real answer in which case, moots your "Very Carefully" and will make every one say WTF MATE?!!
Example:

TEACHER: How did Claudius plan to kill Hamlet?

STUDENT: VERY CAREFULLY

#2

JESSICA: How could she've done this!!!?

FRANK: Very Carefully

Jessica slaps Frank, and then Frank curb stomps the fuck out of Jessica.

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."
