In social networks, a defriending frenzy is a situation where an oversupply of friends leads to rapid, out-of-control deletion by the account owner. This situation often results in the accidental deletion of real friends, leading to refriending requests.

John: What's this friend request? I thought we were already friends...

Dave: Sorry dude, I went into a defriending frenzy last night and accidentally deleted you

collateral defriending

When the ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend of a friend defriends you after they break up.

- So and so defriended me on Facebook. What did I do wrong? I know they broke up and we weren't really friends, but still, collateral defriending hurts.

Always Defending Mugabe

A joke made by English comedian Jack Whitehall. After seeing Robert Mugabe being interviewed, it is said that Whitehall's father errupted at the television stating that Mugabe was 'an odious c*nt'.
His Mother then spins round from the kitchen sink and screams for him to shut up and 'NEVER..EVER use that language infront of his children!' to which his Father repies:

'That's just TYPICAL of you Hilary.. ALWAYS DEFENDING MUGABE'.

To be used when some one has missed the point of a person's rant or explosion of explict language or just when some one has expressed controversial or offensive opinions.

Thats just TYPICAL of you, Hilary... ALWAYS DEFENDING MUGABE

defending the shield

Origin is from ESPN's Pardon the Interrupton

Wilbon makes fun of Kornheiser's "NFL, right or wrong" defense of league policy, no matter how absurd it may be.

1) to blindly defend a rule, decision, or product, soley based on the fact that you're in love with it

"Don't say anything about how shitty AT&T's cell phones are. Bob's a former employee, and he'll bore you to death, defending the shield"

"Someone brought up Mike Vick, then Pat jumped in, and started defending the shield. He must be Roger Goodell's cousin"

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.

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."
