one of many business buzzwords taught usually in marketing class. It is a process, in which a group of businessmen who know little about the underlying products or the market, generate ideas that do not follow either rationality, sanity or laws of gravity. Afterwards, based on little research, they discard the seemly infeasible ideas and decide on one that is doomed to failure.

Supervisor: I need you all to come out with some new marketing ideas on our new smartphone

marketing department: after intensive brainstorming we have come out with the following solutions
A. bash our competitor
B. improve our product
C. rap music advertising with a lot of babes

Supervisor: Great! Let's go with C.

Brainstorming

To reminisce about a sexual experience so intense, it makes you feel like you have just finished running a marathon.

Just the sight of Antoine has all the ladies brainstorming. However, Lisa is his only Muse because she’s proven Worthy of the “Total Package”.

When two pull their nutsacks taught and push their testicles together, giving the illusion of two brains.

I feel a lot closer to Dave ever since we had a brainstorming session last weekend.

Maladaptive brainstorming (MB)

(Related to idea or brainstorming mania)

Obsessive brainstorming for hours or even a whole day usually due to perfectionism and often results in no ultimate decision making on how to create your project (hence the word maladaptive (counter-productive).

(Notes:

Leading to fatigue, migranes, poor focus and even giving up work to brainstorm.

It can come from perfectionism, worrying about leaving out important details that aren't actually that important and fear of rejection / criticism).

(e.g. Ivan is always writing notes and not paying attention in class. He even skips classes to write in his journal. Why? Oh, that's right. He has maladaptive brainstorming (MB).

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."
