UD Merch

Worthless merch that you’ll forget about and not even wear or use once you get them. You could also burn your money. Plus, who the hell wants to be seen in merch for fucking Urban Dictionary? That’s like wearing merch for 4chan or Reddit. It’s a complete waste of money. Don’t buy it at all costs.

Maxwell: I just bought this UD Merch, am I cool now?
John:How the fuck is that going to make people think you’re cool? Sometimes I just don’t understand you, Maxwell.

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.

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."
