Much like a woman's biological clock concept; your geekological clock is a figurative concept of when you've gone far too long without owning something that your geek self deems imperative, & thus you obsess over until you have it - having "gone off" or is "ticking".

1. "My geekological clock is ticking cause i STILL don't have the new Zelda game!"
2. "My geekological clock went off, I have to go out and get this figure RIGHT NOW!"

Geekonomy

1. The business community and economic activity that emerges around geek culture; the production and consumption of nerdy goods and services, such as comic cons and other pop culture conventions.

2. The geekonomy can also refer to products (Star Wars punk rock albums), art (comic book artists), crafts, etc. with a geek interest.

First notably used by journalist Dyer Oxley on episode 40 of the NW NERD Podcast.

"Wow. I opened a booth at Emerald City Comic Con and did more business with my artwork than I do all year!"
"That's the geekonomy for ya."

"The Hoot Hoots released a Star Wars tribute album!"
"That's gonna be a big seller in the geekonomy."

"Bremerton is starting a comicon."
"Yeah, they're trying to get in on that geekonomy."

gleekrant

When a person who thinks they are an expert on something or already knows something gets mad because somebody is pointing out something to them that they already know.

"Did you know that the cloud was back up on the system?" "Of course, why are you telling me? I can see the logs." "Jeeze, you didn't have to gleekrant at me. Cut back on the coffee."

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."
