The act of exploiting the use of a laptop as an educational tool by engaging in a digital social community while in a physical classroom setting, thereby distracting those sitting behind you with photos from last night’s kegger. Practiced by those who require constant social stimulation and cannot go an hour without checking on their Farmville farms.

A classbooker proves to his/her classmates that by having a Facebook account he/she is really cool and has attractive friends that he/she creeps. Telltale signs: smiling during inappropriate moments in the lecture, lots of clicking but no typing.

Guy 1: Did you see that guy classbooking in anthropology?
Guy 2: Yeah, that girl in his pictures from the kegger was HOT!
Guy 1: Yeah, what he didn't realize is that the girl was sitting right behind him in class. She looked mortified!

classworm

n.

1. The organic soial structure of peers in a classroom

2. A more abstract idea involving the combined ideas of each individual to create a universal thought shared by the "classworm"

In orchestra performances I NEVER feel nervous, like not at all. Or ensembels either for that matter for a large audience; but solo in front of a classworm? My playing goes to hell, haha.

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."
