The Wisconsin Death trip is a celebration of life in the midst of death, and a celebration of death in the midst of life. Common elements of the death trip include:

The Funeral Drinking Game
Photography of the person laying in state.
The endless loop Seasons of Your Life animation montage of the deceased
Memorial Day cemetery picnics
Cookie Cutters made from home casting raised letters from tombstones
Meeting a future spouse at a funeral

Dealing with death stress by having particularly good sex

But, there are regional variations.

Some of this has been documented in a book called Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy, Charles Van Schaik, and Warren Susman.

I thought I could escape the Wisconsin Death Trip by moving away from Wisconsin until I realized that we all carry the Wisconsin death trip within us — even people who aren’t from Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Business Suit

Wisconsin Business Suit

The business attire of your typical fat ass Wisconsinite.

The Wisconsin Business Suit is usually made up of Dockers pants, a golf polo (typically Under Armour or Nike), a brown or black belt, which may or may not match the Kohls Department Store purchased lace up dress shoes. A cell phone attached to the belt is optional and often considered to be in good taste.

This look is often accentuated with the "Dunlap" or "cheese tank" which is the gut of said fat ass hanging over his belt.

Example One:

Wisconsin Man 1: Hey, what are you wearing to the big meeting in West Bend tomorrow?

Wisconsin Man 2: Just got a new Nike polo and a pair of sweet Dockers from Kohls that were 88% off.

Wisconsin Man 1: Dude you always out dress everyone.

Example Two:

Scene - Business Conference In Vegas

Man 1: Jesus Christ, who are all these fat fucks wearing pleated Dockers and polos? God they look like shit.

Man 2: It looks like some fat fucks from the Mid West.

Man 3: Yeah I grew up in Wisconsin. They're rocking the Wisconsin business suit. I'm so ashamed of my heritage. (hangs head in shame)

Man 1: Well if they're half as stupid as they are fat, this should be the easiest sale of my life.

Man 2: For sure. God who the fuck dresses like that?

Man 3: My friends and family.

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."
