Opened in 1970, Houston's Galleria is the original, in the sense that it was the first mall in the U.S. to fuse a mall with hotels and office towers, not to mention an ice skating rink bigger than Rockefeller Center. The mixed-use concept has been used in other malls since then, but this was the first, and therefore important in the evolution of malls. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, Italy. Currently about 375 stores and 50 restaurants.

the Galleria (with a small t) owns all others, except the original in Milan.

the Galleria

The Galleria is a fucking massive mall in Houston, TX. It is the 7th largest in America, currently having 375 stores. Most of the mall is built underground, with the top floor mainly at street-level. There are hotel and office towers combined into the mall as well. The entire mall itself is split up into 4 different wings; Galleria I, II, III, and IV, but each wing might as well be it's own mall because this shit is just massive. There are countless designer fashion stores, over 50 dining and restaurant businesses, a 20,000 sq ft. ice skating rink, and basically a store for anything you need. But if you've never been before, it's impossible to find the store that you're looking for without a map. One wrong turn and 2 miles later, you'll end up at the wrong end of the mall. Parking any time between noon to 5pm is just a joke. There are an assload of parking garages too, so if you manage to find a spot, don't forget how you got there or you'll never get out.

Chick 1: Hey, wanna go shopping at the Galleria?

Chick 2: I don't feel like walking 26 miles to find the store I want.

Chick 1: Bitch.

glendale galleria

Noun. The Glendale Galleria is a mall in the city of Glendale, CA that is owned by General Growth Properties. It is a big mall, but lacks the prestige of other malls like South Coast Plaza, or the Beverly Center. The Glendale Galleria is dated, depressing and needs renovations. Only locals that are blindly proud of their city (or don't know any better) like this mall. They have a small Nordstrom's, a shitty Macy's, and an Oakley store that is noteworthy.

Ara, bro, lets go to the Glendale Galleria and get some tracksuits.
Armen, lets go to the Glendale Galleria and get some cologne. My Drakkar is getting low. I wish they would sell it in bulk at Costco.
Girl: "Wow, I got stuck in an elevator at the Glendale Galleria and nearly barfed because of the smell of B.O."

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.

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."
