One who purports to know more than he/she actually does. A false intellectual. Fintos tend to be hipsters, scenesters and or college students studying post modernism or "Po-mo" for short. They enjoy talking about "underground" indie bands as well. They also tend to cling to geek-chic with thick rimmed glasses so as to appear more intellectual.

"Wow. Look at that chick. With her book on post femininism, her deck clothes, and horn-rimmed glasses. She looks like such a finto."
"That's singer songwriter Lisa Loeb"
"Oh. That's deck I guess"

fingoth

Being a "Financial Goth," is when you are too rich for self harm but need to express yourself destructively. So to show your pain, you invest unwisely just to watch your money bleed out in either the stock exchange, or in Chinese crypto currency.

"The only feeling I can get now a days, is knowing that my crypto is funding faceless buisness men's holidays. I'm truly a Fingoth"

Fictophilia

Desire, sexual attraction, or intense feelings of love towards a fictional character, similar in strength and application of those felt towards real people.

Fictophiles rare experience fictophilia exclusively while being unable to connect with real people, but often fictophilic desires persist even when the person is in a serious real life relationship.

After realising she judged every relationship by how much like Hermione Granger her girlfriends were, Jane came to suspect she might meet the criteria for fictophilia.

He was so in love with Dean Winchester, he knew it was fictophilic.

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.

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."
