A sardonic term for clinical psychologists who have, somewhere along the line, been made the arbiters of whether or not an expression of emotion is appropriate in any given situation.

I have a brilliant idea, let’s make some doctoral degreed wacka-wackas into the world’s foremost Inappropriate Affect Police!

inappropriate bell

The hotel call bell employed by Anthony of the Opie and Anthony show on XM Satellite Radio channel 202. When an overly racist or lewd comment is uttered, one of Anthony's many jobs is to ring the bell, thereby signifying that at least in one of the host's minds, a line has been crossed.

Opie: "Freaknik is like spring break for black people."
Jimmy: "Except they don't have to worry about going back to that pesky college."
Anthony: *ding* *ding* *ding* (ringing of inappropriate bell, laughter ensues)

age inappropriate

Any personal action or expression that reveals, often in an unintentionally embarrassing and revelatory way, the emotional, intellectual or physical immaturity of said person.

The U.S. Baby Boomer population has, for most of it's existence on this continent, exhibited nothing but age inappropriate behavior.

Kelly Ripa dresses and acts like a 49 year old 17 year old. She is the very definition of age inappropriate. I think her daughter gave birth to her, actually. Probably in charge of her allowance, too.

Kevin James, Adam Sandler, et al have made whole careers out of age inappropriate behavior. Perhaps they simply can't do any better, boymen that they seem to be.

Forever 21 caters to nothing BUT aging former hotties who possess a deep seated fear of looking like Yasmin Bleeth in all her post - Baywatch glory. Forever 21 is an intentional age inappropriate merchant.

Calling older women cougars or older men leopards is simply excusing age inappropriate dating and sexual behavior. Grow up, why don'tcha !!!

Best age inappropriate line : if the girls you date get any younger, you'll soon be dating sperm.

75 year old man recently seen rocking out at a Katy Perry concert . And no, it wasn't Mick Jagger. Bet he has all her posters up on his wall, too, as well as ring tones, Facebook, Twitter, the works. Age - fucking - inappropriate !!!

Republican presidential nominees for 2016. Age Inappropriate, mostly. Where WERE all the adults ?

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.

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."
