DPNG is the nationally accepted acronym for the phrase "Don't Play No Games" DPNG is most commonly used when dealing with people that are prone to play games when nothing but seriousness is appropriate.

DPNG may also be used in a joking manner or if one simply doesn't have anything else to add to the end of their sentence.

DPNG originated at an extremely popular restaurant somewhere in the St. Louis area, whose exact whereabouts are currently unknown. People working in the restaurant needed a way to communicate with their peers that what they were saying was, in fact, serious. This was due the the numerous amount of people playin games in the restaurant at any given moment. See example two.

Example 1:

Hey Zach, you are going to be at my grandmother's funeral right?

Yea man of course! I'll be there I swear!

Ok you better be... DPNG.

Example 2:

Yo Sha-nae-nae, take that coke to table 54 right now! I ain't finna play these games wit chu all day!!

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."
