Postmodern televised redux of the medieval bread and circus, and capitalist propaganda arm for established business elite. This medium focuses heavily on highly funded advertisements, blatant disinformation, sophomoric content, and other diversionary programming of little cultural value. Peasantvision predominantly serves hidden interest groups and functions to blur distinctions between information, entertainment and advertising in order to corporately engineer consumer conformity, mass ignorance and submission to commercial hierarchies. Pejoratively named peasantvision due to the relatively low socio-economic status of its most frequent users.

The wonders of peasantvision have let Americans enjoy stimulating and life changing events like the birth of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, the plight of OJ Simpson and the neverending sexual high-jinks of Paris Hilton.

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."
