The combination of two words: dissertation and vacation. The act of struggling between being committed to work on dissertation or having a little fun in between.

Do I have to lock myself and work on my dissertation or go out for a vacation? My dissercation is totally driving me nuts.

dissertate

Refers to the process of researching and writing a dissertation. Used in place of similar descriptors, such as writing or studying, in order to emphasize the great scope and magnitude of the work taking place. Often used by graduate students to describe their work schedule.

Clarissa said she cannot attend the party because she needs to dissertate. For years it seems the only thing she has done is dissertate, and yet she still hasn't finished her PhD.

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."
