In a battle of wit during discussion on public forums, message boards, fb groups.. etc. an Ivanism is considered to be a truly weak response of the highest degree. A weak and unbalanced retort in which extreme cases of butthurt are revealed. An Ivanism is also known as a euphemism to the expression "foot in mouth" which in many cases may come back to haunt person (who in lost train of thought or just out of plain stupidity blurts out said Ivanism) at a later time, even much later.

Some Ivanisms are so epic in content that they warrant being saved and stored for future/educational purposes.
Littledick: Your newest entry attempt on UD does not embarrass me in the slightest, and to prove my point I will be sure to look it up and click on "DO NOT PUBLISH" for "I am a Senior Urban Dictionary Editor, that means I am God.... bow before me!"

Bigdick: I may not get my entry accepted into Urban Dictionary, but you have just given me this most precious moment for which I am eternally grateful. You not only gave me the perfect example for my newest entry, but your latest shriek has got to be your greatest Ivanism yet.

Thank you, Mr. Senior Editor @ Urban Dictionary, your inspiration is greatly appreciated and I have decided to give it another shot.

Sincerely, Bigdick

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.

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."
