Ascorbic Titillunda

A tingling or chilling sensation that occurs during urination after consuming a high dose of vitamin C (typically 4,000-8,000 mg or more). The effect, described as a gentle "flush wave," is considered by some to be a sign of tissue saturation and antioxidant processing. Coined by Bobby Dean Gray in 2025.

Bro, I just hit the Ascorbic Titillunda--I think my cells are singing.

ascorbic interference

When one's presence burns the mold off someone's soul. They flinch, then blink, then breathe.

Ascorbic interference is when something pure and necessary disrupts decay. Not softly. Not politely. But with brightness. With sting. With chemistry that cannot be ignored.

Change of the conditions, breaking the silence and oxygenating the swamp.

I didn't mean to disrupt him--I was just being myself. But I realize now, my presence was a kind of ascorbic interference: cleansing, stinging, impossible to ignore.

The shift in his behavior wasn't gradual; it came after a moment of ascorbic interference--someone finally told the truth and the system reacted like it had touched acid.

She entered like citrus on a wound--ascorbic interference in its purest form. Not to destroy, but to awaken the flesh.

If he's mad, let him be. I wasn't attacking him---I was performing ascorbic interference. That's love, not betrayal.

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."
