Synthetic clapping is the sound of clapping hands made by a synthesizer or through a software program like Synth-Werk rather than being made by a person clapping his or her own hands.

I can't stand the sound of real clapping in music, but synthetic clapping is fine with me.

synthetic mud

Jizz that has been extracted from a gay (or straight) man's asshole then mixed with Hershey's syrup and avocado's. Intended to be used as facial mask. Apply liberally!

John's face looks like a pair of angels marching two by two thanks to synthetic mud.

synthetic katydids

The sound of a katydid (a cricket-like insect) created either via computer software or synthesizer hardware. Found in some types of Hi-NRG music.

I listened to a song by some Hi-NRG group a few days ago that had synthetic katydids in it.

synthetic bells

The sound of bells being rung, only this time done completely by synthesis -- be it computer hardware or software synthesis. No actual bells are being harmed.

The demo called, äMPäri3" by the Commodore Amiga computer demo group Dekadence has synthetic bells in its zax -- how kewl!!!

Galantir

A group of people, typically women, searching through someone’s digital footprint in order to find more information about that person.

Susie wasn’t sure if her new Hinge match was a creep, so she assembled Galantir and they found out he used to post slurs on gaming forums.

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."

God Shot

A chance happening with profound meaning, an unexpected blessing, a "sign".

Dr. Drew on Celebrity Rehab said "All of a sudden what had been just another Hollywood proposal became for him an unexpected blessing, an opportunity for growth. In drug recovery language, that's called a "God shot."
