delayed hangover

Unlike the typical hangover where you wake up sick and feeling like shit, the delayed hangover is a tricky little bitch.

This is the phenomenon that occurs when you have spent the evening drinking to excess. You go to bed drunk. You wake up feeling fine! You go about your normal routine- eating, drinking coffee and such. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, the hangover that you smugly thought you had escaped materializes. This is HOURS after you woke up. What. The. Hell.

Synonymn: Creeper Hangover.

Last night I got so drunk! I woke up feeling awesome so I decided to go see my parents, only to be ambushed with the dreaded delayed hangover. I spent alot of time in the bathroom and trying not to pass out. I played it off to my parents that I ate something bad.

Delayed Space-U-Later

Used to describe Jeff Bezos the day (July 20, 2021) he took his first commercial flight into space too late. King of Amazon may have had eyes on the wings and astronaut title but he didn't meet the requirements in time. The Federal Aviation Administration chose that same day to update the requirements to join the ranks of astronaut. It was the first major change to the rules since 2004. Turns out Jeff didn't get his wings or title due to not meeting one requirement. He only got a $5.5 billion honorary title and only 4 minutes in space. Gee, that was fast. Just one day before and he would have qualified. Well played FAA. Savage af.

Jeff Bezos spent $5.5 billion for an honorary title and 4 mins in space because he is a delayed space-u-later. Jeff is definitely big mad and probably butt hurt at the FAA for screwing him hard.

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."
