Dude, I was just in stall 3, and I had to do some major Hostage Negotiation in there... I was a little embarrassed, 'cause Lenny the VP was in the next stall. Although HE had no problem releasing the hostages.

Secret Diplomatic Negotiations

"Secret Diplomatic Negotiations" is a comical euphemism for anal sex. It was coined over at www.apennyforlenny.com, based on a Jeopardy clue.

The clue was from the category "BACK" TO SCHOOL. It was:

“SECRET DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIATIONS ARE SAID TO GO THROUGH THIS”

The answer was "WHAT IS THE BACKDOOR?"

"Could I interest any of you ladies in some Secret Diplomatic Negotiations?"

"Yeah, me and Becky Diplomatically Negotiated in Secret all night long."

"If you're ever in prison, watch out for the Secret Diplomatic Negotiations that happen in the shower."

Negotiating with terrorists

The act of engaging another in an argument that is so self-evidently preposterous that doing so provides dangerous validation to the other party. Usually refers to arguments with bipolar ex-girl or boyfriends, often with a history of employment in various clothing-optional adult entertainment industries.

#1: Stripper Sara cornered me at the bar & started screaming at me again about her missing John Mayer CDs. She knows I would rather tear out my eardrums & set them on fire than listen to that douche.
#2: What did you do?
#3: I walked away. Anything else is negotiating with terrorists.

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."
