A doctoral thesis resulting from fraud (typically plagiarism or ghostwriting) as opposed to one based on genuine scholarship. Smells foul only after being exposed but then sticks to the author for life. Exposure usually leads to the revoking of the doctoral degree.
A Piece of ScHmITt (see related entry) constitutes a subtype with a high potential to attract media exposure, although it accounts for only a small portion of all doctoral feces produced.
Not long after our professors started using plagiarism detector software retroactively, they realized doctoral feces are piling up in our faculty library.
Word made up by Devin that proably has to do with something dirty. Also could be a misspelling of dictionary, or about the tyranny of d**ks. Hard to say, but in this case I'm sure it's urban. (:
Devin: "Lol got to love urban dictorany. Looked up my name. Made me laugh so much"
Some one that is far more controlling and overbearing than a micro-manager. This person will not just tell you how to do something, they will stand over your shoulder and tell you step by step to do the task the way they would do it, not even allowing you to proceed if you know how to do it in a possibly better, different way. Could also be referred to as micro-dictatorial; but "micro-dictorial" flow more easily off the tongue.
My boss is one of the most "micro-dictorial" people I have ever know.

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.

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."
