its like ghosting but more brutal, cause they wanna seem nice, maybe they take days, or even weeks, to reply to your last WhatsApp message.

But instead of leaving you hanging (Like a ghostwrited would ), a curver will reply, but their responses will be sporadic, closed off and often apologetic e.g. “I’m so sorry for not textin, I’ve just been really busy with insert predictable excuse here”.

Of course, they really might have been too occupied with work, family, friends, or the washing up to take a minute out of their day to message to you ....... or not

it’s been seven weeks since I saw him and I’ve only heard from him five times , but I still ain’t sure if he is curving me or not!

Culvinize

To needlessly complicate the solution to a problem, resulting in varying degrees of success. Culvinizing a situation can result in a brilliant, straightforward and simple solution. Likewise, it can result in a convoluted, messy duct-tape-and-baling-wire hack that will eventually fail in catastrophic fashion. Culvinization is heavily dependent upon the context of a situation -- it can be both good and bad.

"Man, that Angular Directive sure is Culvinized"
"A couple of 2X4s and some epoxy... I Culvinized it."
"Roll up your sleeves, boys, it's time to Culvinize this thing"

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.

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."
