A desirable behaviour. Going out of your way to avoid being close to people. In the olden days (prior to the COVID19-era), it would have been seen as rude to cross the street to avoid being close to a person. There was a risk that you’d be perceived as a snob, or as a racist, or intolerant in some way of the person you were avoiding. However, in the COVID19-era and beyond, it is the best thing you can do! And it’s a bonus that no one can accuse you of being rude.

I was on my morning walk to keep me sane during the “self-isolation” period when I saw Chatty Cathy walking towards me. I crossed the street. At first, she looked a bit sad but then I hollered “it’s not you, it’s just that I’m virus dodging!”

fat dogging

1) An old phrase dating back to the sixties or seventies that is one-hundred percent real. 'Fat Dogging' has recently gained popularity in the community college scene, where it would totally be acceptable to throw a themed party based around the expression. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

2) The new dance craze sweeping the nation.

1 - "I'm going to be fat dogging for midterms all afternoon!"

"Hey, I've heard that expression before!"

"You're right Kevin! I can say it all day without it reminding me of bears in any way!

2 - "There's a brand new dance

Based on an old phrase.

It's called the fat dog and it will amaze.

You've heard this expression

Your entire life.

It's not made up, It's not made up!"

bird dogging

To hound or pursue something or someone with a usually malicious intent.

Derived from the use of a bird dog to hunt game.

Apparently mistaken by millennials as a slang hybrid of 'bird' being female, and 'dogging' being the act of cuckolding or sharing of one's wife willingly or unwillingly, whilst obviously overlooking the actual normal every day meaning of the term to the point it irritated me to make a bloody account on here to set things straight. So upvote this definition so these low life tweens can at least use the term correctly.

"You've been bird dogging this town for a while now, they wouldn't mind a corpse of you." - Mal, Firefly

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."
