A word invented by James Joyce and used in his Ulysses. The word may be broken into parts to better understand its meaning:

con-trans-magnific-and-jew-bang-tantiality

The "-tantiality" is just a suffix for "con-" and "trans-". The "con-" refers to consubstantiation, the belief in Catholic theology that the father, the son and the holy spirit are all of the same substance but each presents in a different form. The "-trans-" refers to transubstantiation, the belief in Catholic theology that during communion the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of christ; the mundane is transformed into the divine. These two first parts of the word indicate that the word has to do with the intersection between the divine (god) and the mundane (humanity), or christ. The "magnific" refers to the magnificent, the divine. The "-and-" simply refers to the word "and" and the "-jew-" refers to a Jew, specifically Mary. The "-bang-" is where things get tricky and we see a bit of Joyce's (slightly blasphemous) humour: in one sense, "-bang-" refers to a collision between the divine and Mary (christ). It also refers to sex; Mary is impregnated by the divine and out of this tryst christ is born. Joyce intentionally juxtaposes sexuality and the virgin because he both believes that all human activities are beautiful and deserve to be represented in literature and because, in order for christ to have a human mother and a divine father, he must have blood from both.

contrapositive linearity

The creation of highly resolved lines in art with the use of contrapositive colors on the color wheel (Each set of two contrapositive colors forms a single line across the node (center) of the wheel of colors).

The artistic process used to create hyperreal art.

Contrapositive linearity is the death of postmodernism because juxtaposition is convergence and duality is linearity ie. convergence is in the past.

This contrasts with positive (formalistic) linearity in which juxtaposition is linearity and convergence is duality ie. convergence is the future.

Thus convergence in the past can only happen aesthetically.

Werribee Centrals

Werribee Centrals is a local football club and I think is the best football club out there, there are nice people and everyone does their best in sorting out the teams and filling in jobs every game. Werribee Centrals are great Rivals to Werribee Juniors and Wyndham Vale. The parents from Wyndham Vale shout at the Werribee Centrals players while they have the ball and their running past the Wyndham Vale bench and I know that because that has happened to me before. Werribee Juniors don't do that kind of things to the players so their not as bad as Wyndham Vale. When you want to join a fun and great football club come to Werribee Centrals you are always welcome.

Person 1: What Football Club do you play for im looking for a club to play for?

Person 2: I play for Werribee Centrals and they are really nice there and they make you feel welcome.

Person 1: Thanks that sounds like a great Football club I might play for them.

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."
