Harambe's Law

"You are a racist/sexist/xenophobe/homophobe/abelist" is code for "you are winning this argument, and I hate you for that."

The first person in a discussion to call someone Racist, Sexist, Xenophobic, Homophobic or another pejorative term is deemed to have automatically lost the discussion because they have admitted they have no facts or logic to support their position, and thus resort to name-calling to silence further embarrassment.

Harambetard 

An internet retard who, for some unknown psychological defect, is unable to get over the entire "child falls into gorilla's enclosure and the gorilla gets shot in the end" incident. Harambetards are usually seen endlessly posting about insanely unfunny "dank memes" involving some retarded line about Harambe the gorilla. People in their right mind are advised to stay away from harambetards as much as possible, as their retardation is probably contagious.
Guy A: Hey, check out my new harambe post! It's so funny Ima shit myself laughing. Huehue!
Guy B: Will you just stay the fuck away from me? I don't want any harambetards around. Do your troll shit elswhere, you retardo!

Self-Harm 

One of the biggest mistakes people assume with self harm is that it’s just for attention. Self harm is more of a way of punishing themselves or thinking they deserve to be in that kind of pain. I remember having a conversation with someone who thought of self-harm as an attention thing, but he didn’t know that I was self harming at the time. He would talk about how, it was annoying when girls would talk about it, and “it’s an attention thing girls do”. And that literally broke me. I thought that opening up to people about it would help me, but before I could try, the walls came up again. Self-Harm is not smth used for attention. Those who self-harm, hide the scars so no one can see, and they would not be slicing their bodies and creating scars for attention. It hurts. If you want attention, you won’t do smth that hurts. Anyways just wanted to clear that up and know that if you don’t fully understand it, you are not allowed to have an opinion on it. Self-harm has triggers, the thoughts in your head die down for a couple hours, but one word or one bad thing can trigger the urge to self-harm. It is an addiction. Once you start, you can’t stop, it just gets worse and worse until you cant take it anymore and you do smth you may or may not live to regret. For those who are thinking of self-Harm, please don’t start. It’s an addiction. Just please find the strength to stop yourself<3 I love you and I’m proud of you. You didn’t come this far to ONLY come this far.
Self-Harm is a dark, lonely dangerous path, that I hope you can find the strength to not go down<3

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."
