The fact that I am the first person to write anything on Hitchcock is just criminal. Born on 8/13/1899, he was widely regarded as one of the best directors ever lived. With a reputation for making horror, suspense,and thriller movies, he's sometimes referred to as the "Master of Suspense." He is famous for using attractive blond women in his movies and making cameo appearances in his own movies. Hitchcock's most famous movies include: Notorious, Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, 39 Steps, Rebecca, To Catch a Thief, The Birds, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Dial 'M' for Murder. Upon his death on 4/29/1980, Alfred Hitchcock, among other legendary directors such as Robert Altman, Stanley Kubrick, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and Martin Scorsese, never received an Oscar for Best Director.

Person 1: I watch a lot of movies. I am a movie person.
Person 2: Me too! And don't you just love Alfred Hitchcock?
Person 1: I've never really watched any Hitchcock.
Person 2: And you call yourself a movie person? How dare you?!

Like Hitchcock

Much like calling a moron "Einstein", "Like Hitchcock" is used towards a film, from average to poor quality, when comparing it to a film of even worse quality. Putting the two side by side, it makes the original choice appear of a far substantial standard.

After seeing "Fake Awful Movie", it's easy to say "Fake Mediocre Movie" feels like Hitchcock.

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."
