sunday effect 

an unwanted feeling of frusteration and disappiontment, expieranced on sundays (although it has been known to have been felt as early as saturday). this feeling occurs as a result of one comming to the realisation that their weekend has come to an end, and that the following day, a new and rigorous week of work will begin. upon first expierancing this effect, the remainder of ones weekend is generally ruined, as every feeling will be overidden by dissappointment of the impending future.
Trevor: Aww shucks James, you sure havent been yourself today, what's the matter?

James: *sigh* It's nothing, just that i can't believe this weekend is over...

Trevor: Let me guess. It seems as if no ammount of happiness could possibily overide the dissappointment you feel in your realisation that tomorrow is the start of yet another ordianary week, during which you will be forced into doing the same generic and repetitive tasks that you will be doing for the rest of your life.

James: Wow, it's as if you know exactly how I feel.

Trevor: You, my friend, have the sunday effect.

The Sunday Effect 

The Sunday effect means many things. It can mean general "blues" before going to work the next day, longing for another chance at the weekend, re-living/analyzing events of the weekend whether they be good or bad, or just letting the day go by not doing a single thing because of the above factors. You are feeling the symptoms of the Sunday effect if:
1)You spend the whole day asking your friends what they did on the weekend and comparing their stories to yours

2)You talk to people you wouldn't normally talk to on msn.

3)You keep telling yourself you have to get to your homework but never do because your mentally paralyzed and focused on comparing weekends with your friends

4)You constantly re-live the highlights of your weekend, pushing you further into Sunday depression because you long for more good things that can only happen on weekends. Also its very common to re-live good events of the weekend and think of ways you could have made those things better. The more things you think up that you could have done, the worse you'll feel.

5)You constantly re-live BAD parts of your weekend because you feel like what you did wasn't enough or want another chance at fixing the bad aftermath of whatever happened
For example if you fight someone on the weekend you'll constantly re-live the fight, thinking of ways you could have avoided it or ways you could have fought better.


Sundays are particularly bad if you don't have anything to look forward to the next weekend OR if you have things you AREN'T looking forward to during the week.

Basically the sunday effect is the general depression after the events of a weekend (whether it be a good or bad weekend) that causes your sunday to pass you by. It's like your memory isn't writing anything down.
There isn't any way to really get rid of the effect, all you can do is let the sunday go by OR actually get to your homework filling you up with self esteem.
Checking facebook constantly, staying on msn for hours asking people you never talk to what they did on the weekend, and sitting on your ass for hours at a time are common symptoms of the Sunday effect.

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.

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."
