noun: a point of view one holds for a movie, tv show or other form of entertainment that you adored as a child, so much so that as an adult, despite reflecting on it and realizing it is sub-par or flawed, you still think of it as excellent.

Conversely, someone who never experienced it as a child and does so for the first time as an adult might think it is awful and not understand why people adore it.

References the 1985 film "The Goonies," a children's movie with numerous technical flaws and editing mistakes, plot holes, terrible child acting and overall nonsense that had an atrocious critical reception but is beloved to adults who watched it as children.

"I just watched "Heathers" for the first time, and I don't understand why you like it. I thought it was stupid. I think you have Goonie Goggles for "Heathers".

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...

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."
