Thus, Pinker points out that George W. Bush's benighted policy on stem cell research derives from an archaic conception of the Ghost in the Machine,the notion that "ensoulment" occurs when sperm meets egg, thereby presumably rendering each fertilized zygote a human being.

Benighted

The inexplicable sense of peace which descends upon one in the wee hours of the morning.

I was benighted in a pause between beverages at 4am, one evening.

Benighted

Benighted is one of the best death metal bands ever. Another great brutal metal band from France! Benighted's main influences include Cannibal Corpse and Marduk, their music has evolved through the years by combining different genres with brutal death metal - for example they have had (and always have) a punkish sound in it, other times black metal, and mainly grindcore. I myself put them under goregrind.
But labels dont matter a shit!, because they are FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!11!1

Benighted is:

Galantir

A group of people, typically women, searching through someone’s digital footprint in order to find more information about that person.

Susie wasn’t sure if her new Hinge match was a creep, so she assembled Galantir and they found out he used to post slurs on gaming forums.

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."

God Shot
