To take a steel or other hard metal screw or bolt and cross thread it into a softer metal such a aluminum. Most often found after purchasing a used machine the first time you attemp to remove any bolt or scew.

I just bought this dirt bike for pretty cheap but I found out they applied "Perry County Loctite" to nearly every bolt on the machine.

Alternatively, "Boy will they be pissed when they find out I applied Perry County Loctite to that head bolt on that car before I sold it on Craigslist"!

mexican loctite

A substitute method of keeping threaded fasteners from becoming loosened due to vibration, stress, etc. Instead of using conventional liquid {loctite}, one simply assembles the fastener using dissimilar thread combinations, i.e., a coarse thread on on a fine thread bolt.
Alternatively, if the threads match, grind or hammer the threads of the bolt slightly to induce the crossthreading principle.

We didn't want the helicopter rotor to loosen unexpectedly, so we assembled it with Mexican loctite.

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."
