Talented drummer for Glaswegian group Franz Ferdinand. The only member of the band who was actually born in Scotland (Edinburgh), making his accent the hardest to understand, but also the most fun. It has been stated by the man himself that he once sold his arse-fat to medical science because he couldn't be arsed (oh, hahaha) to get a job.

Thankfully he has found a career in dear old Franz!

Paul Thompson

Highly underrated, but superior talented rock drumming god of Roxy Music fame. Known universally to true fans as "The Great Paul Thompson", due to his incredible drumming skills and power. A great example of his work can be found on the extended instrumental section of the Roxy Music track "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" from the 1973 album "For Your Pleasure". Paul Thompson underpinned the Roxy Music sound from 1973 - 1980 when he left the group due to 'musical differences' (i.e. Bryan Ferry wanted to take the "Rock" out of Roxy Music and turn out easy listening lounge lizard fare). Ferry saw the error of his ways some time later and Paul has been on the recent tours with the largely original Roxy line-up.

For some great examples of Paul Thompson listen to:

"2HB"
"The Bob"
"Every Dream Home a Heartache"
"She Sells"
"Manifesto"

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."
