johnstown 

Little town in upstate New York, about an hour from Albany. Can you spell scummy? Probably not if you're from Johnstown. One of the best football programs in the Sir Bills Circle. If you've ever been here, you've probably lost some brain cells. The education system is terrific with foreign language options ranging from Spanish to Spanish. 90% of the fast food industry's employees are from this beautiful city. If you're smart enough to get out of here, do it.

Johnstown Flood 

A college prank that probably has other names. Most commonly played in college dorms. The act of filling a trash can about halfway with water. Then you lean said trash can against a door. Knock on the door and run like hell. When the sucker goes to open the door, they get the onslaught of the water, going everywhere.

I call it the Johnstown Flood as I attend the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, and the name fits perfectly, if you're familiar with the town's history
When you Johnstown Flood someone, don't get caught. The "flood waters" can do some serious damage

Try at your own risk!

Johnstown Syndrome

The feeling of dread and hopelessness that occurs when one visits or unfortunately lives in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. This syndrome causes everyone to become angry out of spite and be extremely rude to one another. The only thing going for this town is the amount of massive, devastating floods that have killed the entire town. If you’re lucky… maybe you’ll be in the next one and get flushed down the Conemaugh like your coal cracker ancestors.
~cut off in traffic by a lifted dodge pickup shooting black smoke~

“Dude, there’s too many coal crackers in this town with Johnstown Syndrome. I gotta get out.”

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."
