woke up and chose violence — the act of awakening and greeting the day with absolutely the worst decision that you could possibly make.

And sometimes it is actually violence.

It’s starting the day and performing any action that unalterably changes your life forever.

The people who attacked The Capitol on January 6th 2021 — attacked the symbolic seat of the American people’s power — just woke up and chose violence that day. And, as a result, the ring leaders are receiving long federal prison sentences.

woke up and chose chaos

woke up and chose chaos — a corollary to waking up and choosing violence. Waking up and choosing chaos involves beginning your day with an impulsive act that can and does throw your entire existence into disarray.

A common excuse for waking ping up and choosing chaos is: “I just had to speak from ‘my strong place’”.

And then the chaos ensues.

I woke up and chose chaos when I called my wife’s divorce lawyer and told him to do her worst — I dared her!!!!!!

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...

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."
