The ancient language of Scotland, akin to Irish Gaelic, having come from Ireland with the Scotti tribe, who eventually became the dominant people of Scotland... until the English came in, forcing the Scottish Gaels into the Highlands while the English took the lowlands with some of the native Gaels.

Prejudice against the Gaels and their beautiful language is still found today, sadly. Largely due to the desire of the English to take over the whole of Britain, among other places, and the expulsion of highlanders from their homeland in the 1700s and 1800s, the clan system and the Gaelic language was largely lost.

Today, only about 1% of Scotland speaks its native tongue. In Nova Scotia (Alba Nuadh), Canada, several thousand Gaelic speakers exist, although largely older people.

Still, upsurgence of interest in the beautiful, fragile Celtic languages is happening.

Chaill sinn ar cànan bhrèagha, taing do na Sasannaich. Carson? O, pàidhidh cuideigin air sin.

Chan urrainn dhomh a maise chur loinn air na cluasan mo dhachaigh. A' mhaise 'gus a ceòl a fuaimean, air falbh? Cha ghabh mi sin!

Th'ann a' Ghàidhlig gu leòr 'san dùthaich seo fhathast! B' urrainn do rudeigin (math) thachairt gum b'urrainn dhi shàbhail!

Tha i beò fhathast; th'ann dòchas maireann; tha i comasach ri tigh'nn air ais, ged 's mathaid cha bhi ise 'n cànan as motha... ach mairidh ise beò.

(We have lost our beautiful language, thanks to the English.

I cannot hear her beauty gracing the ears of my home. The beauty and music of her sound, gone? I won't accept that!

There's enough Gaelic in this country still! Something (good) could happen that could save her!

She is still alive; there is hope still; she is able to come back, although perhaps she won't be the biggest language... but she will survive.)

Ninja Gaiden 2

Awesome game where you go around killing ninjas, dragons and fiends with ninja weapons and fireballs (there are actually several different types of "ninpo"). It is the sequel to Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox (obviously), and you play as Ryu Hayabusa. It is also insanely hard and will require a lot of skill and patience, especially on Path of the Master Ninja, or even Path of the Mentor.

<BLIZZARDRULZ11216> I CAN'T DO IT, IT'S COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE, IMMA GO PLAY WOW CUZ IT R FUNNER!!11

<MasterNinja2983> ...Ninja Gaiden 2 takes a lot of skill. It's a good game, maybe you just need more practice.

<BLIZZARDRULZ11216> NO, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!

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."
