Critical Whup-ass

Critical Whup-ass is achieved when slurs and profanities become extremely offensive and unbearably barbaric. At this point, All Hades can and will break loose causing all with in it's radius of influence to become incredibly violent and begin attacking anything that moves in their field of view.

Whup-ass Dynamics

The theory of Whup-ass Dynamics:

Opening a Can of Whup-ass tends to increase overtime and it will increase in pain, injury, and destruction . If continued, whup ass will result in mass death and destruction. Whup ass also acts as an event horizon of whup ass.

It will draw in all negative emotions and energies towards the center of the point of whup ass. Once with in the field of influence (similar to the gravitational field of a black hole in space, but also like a heavy mass neutron star.) Hostilities will become more frequent. As Critical Whup-ass is achieved slurs, profanity, and violence will become extremely offensive and unbearably barbaric.

The effects will become stronger until others helplessly reach the point of no return. At this point the more people that fall into the "said" can of whup-ass will exponentially add to it's radius of influence.

Today in the school of hard knocks I learned about Whup-ass Dynamics. It's the theory of how and why whup-ass occurs and what would happen if one was to become involved with it.

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."
