A modernist is a model citizen that Tony Blair would be proud of. Everything has to be new for them, they frown upon and mock anything old or historic. They like and welcome immigrants and neds, they make your heart glad, apparently, and of course they vote labour.

Modernists get right up my nose!!

modernist

Any writer at the age of twenty. Their head is not together enough to write about anything, but they write just the same. Unfortunately some of them are taken too seriously. Was a lot worse in the 1920s, obviously enough.

Sally doesn't know one end of a pen from the other and tells everyone she's a modernist.

Modernisation

The process of deconstructing practices, techniques and standards of the past and replacing them with modern methodology particularly concerning cost efficiency, increase in profit margins often with the result of declining customer service.

Elderly man - "We used to be served tea and biscuits when we travelled by rail in our own compartments."

Young man - "That's so old fashioned, the railways have gone through a period of modernisation under the government recently. They've got rid of the expensive complimentary tea and biscuits and shove us into cattle trucks now. That's much more modern.'

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."
