Or a doctor being crushed by a box of first aid supplies

Ironically

A term used by people to justify actions or slang they use (which may be considered offensive or socially embarrassing) as being used to sarcastically make fun of people who do these things in full sincerity.

Secretly, they're serious about it too though.

James: Dude, stop saying cringe. That stopped being funny years ago.
Andrew: No dude it's ok, I say it ironically.

ironically named open society

"open" society is a nefarious project funded by spooky dude george soros to strip people of their ability to exercise their God given liberty.

The 'open' bit is the irony. Direct democracy only seems brilliant to the poorly educated. One needs a democratic republic and not a direct democracy to live well -- provided one's elected representatives are honorable, educated, and active in their respective faith.

You though the chairman was bad wait until you find yourself living under the ironically named open society.

ironically bored

When you now have so much time on your hands that you don't know what to do. The irony being that when you did have stuff to do you were meant to be doing something else.

watching stupid videos on youtube when you were meant to be revising for an exam. Now the exam is over watching videos does not seem that entertaining, and nor does anything else for that matter, making you ironically bored.

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."
