The big idea

"What's the big idea" is a phrase used whenever a person has a stupid, impossible, or pointless idea and someone needs to tell them off without being too rude.

Jason: "Dude, let's go smoke weed in public!"
Mike: "Oh, really? What's the big idea? Get arrested?"
Jason: "Uh, no...it's to have fun."
Mike: "In jail? Are you barred again?"

Big Ideas

Radiohead's best song! It has only been played live a handful of times and studio version may NEVER be recorded. It features a glockenspiel in full band arrangements.

Do you think Radiohead will play Big Ideas tonight? I really hope so.

I like the full band version of Big Ideas so much better than the acoustic.

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."
