This is an old southern term used by my grandmother. It is a disrespectful term for a white person similar to "cracker" or "honky." I believe it comes from the fact that woodpeckers have reddish hair up top like white people.

That 'ole peckawood tried to steal my land.

peckawood

The correct word is peck of wood. It was used by slaves to describe the worth of a white man that was the overseer. The slaves pronounced it as peckawood and the word evolved to peckerwood with wealthy whites wanting to seperate themselves from the lessor whites than themselves. I'm 62 years old and i was told this by my grandfather when i was a young man.

Perkasie

A small town i bucks county next to Sellersville, an hour north of Philadelphia surrounded by Quakertown to the north, Telford and souderton to the west, Dublin to the southeast, and Doylestown to the South. we're not spoiled and rich like Doylestown, and we only have about 10,000 people. WE have a skate park but most of the kids who use at are doucebags so it's not really fun. the only buisinesses are stores and restaurants. We also have a mcdonalds, dairy queen and ritas all filled with gay kids from the skate park. We have a bunch of chill parks and bike paths and a really small downtown. theres not much crime but if you don't skate theres not much to do and its mostly just houses. Overall its a chill place.

Perkasie is a small suburb of philly with alot of kids and not much to do.

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...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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."
