If you look from the side of at a planet swinging around in its orbit, split the sun with a mirror and imagine a string, it all looks like a yo-yo. The point furthest from the sun is called aphelion. The point furthest away from the yo-yo hand is called, by analogy, apocheir.

Benny Profane, a schlemihl and human yo-yo, gets to an apocheir.

Apoceclipse

The time of deep preparation and chaos for those who unfortunately live in the "path of totality " Of the great eclipse. Their town is swarmed with science nerds who interrupt the daily schedules and ability to get to work and buy items that are needed from the grocery store.

I was 30 minutes late to work today because of the apoceclipse.

Apoceclipse

People who think the Eclipse of August 2017 is the Revelation 12 sign and think the world is getting worse due to "birth pains" which were mentoined. These people watch a lot of conspiracy videos on YouTube. The people who believe this really think the world governments are controlled by Satan and everything we know is a lie.

Jesus is coming back soon due to the eclipse. It's the Apoceclipse.

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."
