A fellowship of Christian businessmen and professionals who spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through distribution of the Holy Bible. While most people are familiar with the Gideons' hotel bibles, the Gideons also distribute bibles in prisons, on college campuses, in hospitals and to police, firefighters and members of the armed forces. Contrary to other entries, the Gideons do not spy on people at the hotels. In fact, Gideons must be non-judgemental and avoid all manner of divisive doctrinal discussions.
I left my Bible at home. I'm sure glad the Gideons left a bible in this hotel room.

The Squatting Gideon 

The act of trying to squat too much weight, falling on your face, and shitting your pants at the same time.
James pulled the squatting gideon this morning, and they're still attempting to clean the platform.
A manly man. A total "Clint Eastwood" type. He loves the outdoors and is a risk taker! He is also not afraid of anything. He fights and kills two grizzly bears a year and he once lived with a pack of wolves for 6 months. He is ruggedly handsome and has an All-American chiseled jaw. He has a few scars on his face from all of the fights he's gotten into protecting and defending those he cares about. (Don't worry, it doesn't take away from his superb good looks, in fact it adds to it.)

Gideon is not afraid to speak his mind and is not afraid to get into fights, especially when it comes to defending the honor of his lady. Gideon is a great guy to have a relationship with but he travels a lot, so it may get hard. But he is totally worth it! He has high morals and values but that won't stop him from having a good time. Gideon is the life of the PARTY!

Gideon can sometimes come across as aggressive but he is just being honest--he does not lie. If you need advice, he's the man to go to. He won't beat around the bush. He will tell you exactly what he thinks even if it hurts your feelings. And if it hurts you're feelings he'll say "Hey little girl! I don't like cherry. It upsets my stomach! Yee Yee!"

Gideon is a good man who will make you laugh, make you smile, and make you bleed (if you cross him) But if you are on his good side, NEVER let him go! (unless he physically pushes your face away from him)
Luke: "Did you see that man in the woods save that woman by killing the grizzly bear with his bear hands?"
Garrett: "Yeah bro, I did! That guy was a complete Gideon bad ass!"

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.

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."
