Raffa news is bad news. Not horrible, tragic news, just news you didn't want to hear. Derived from the 17th Century word raff meaning rubbish, related to riff-raff meaning people who are worthless.

I hate to be the bearer of raffa news, but Firefly was canceled.

The Vinny Raffa Effect

The Vinny Raffa Effect occurs after repetitive sightings of a repeated visual stimulus, often a sticker or grafitti. As a child I used to often see this one sticker with a mysterious icon - Vinny Raffa. This led me to ask the question, "who is Vinny Raffa?" As I grew up I saw more and more of these stickers throughout my lifetime and always wondered with great fascination what they meant and how they got there. However when I got older I eventually learned the true identity of the man on the sticker and with this discovery, much of my interest was lost. The Vinny Raffa Effect occurs when you lose interest in something after discovering too much about it.

I'm not sure if this is an example of The Vinny Raffa Effect but, I just found out who made all of these mysterious cards we've been seeing everywhere and now I don't care.

rafael correa

A Socialist dictator of the Republic of Ecuador who is responsible for 55% unemployment, debt that is more than triple the amount of the population, the Petroleum barrel selling at 20 USD, the selling of a percentage of the Amazon rainforest for failure to pay a debt of China because he sells and pays his party more than what is constitutional, changes the constitution for his favor, took out the judges of the country and placed them with judges who are unqualified but a part of his party, currently has Galapagos on hold for China if taxes and debt dates aren't met. This is only the basic aside from the social injustices such as imprisoning and spending 300k USD every weekend to humiliate underaged children of the opposition and asks his followers to attack them on social media.

BUT YEAH.

Rafaela

Rafaela is one of the prettiest people you will ever know. She's outgoing but hates people. She's also very smart but doesn't show that off. She's loyal and dedicated to the things that matter most to her.

Rafaela

Rafaela is always a really beautiful, strong woman. She is really smart but also one of the funniest and the most crazy person you will ever know. Rafaela is the creative one in her friends group and when it comes to art it seems like she can do anything. When Rafaela walks into a room EVERYBODY stares at her. And even through she has that kind of beauty no one ever could imitate, she is really insecure and always worries what others will think about her. Rafaela also is the most loyal person on earth and would never ever cheat on you or lie to you. She protects her friends and family with all that she has but has sometimes trouble with expressing her feelings. Rafaela is a woman that loves to flirt more than anything else and doesn't give away her heart very easily but if she does better take care of it because that does not happen often. If you know a Rafaela keep her close and she'll always be there for you.

Rafaela was so beautiful even the sun was jealous

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.

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."
