The dystopian present (and possibly future) brought about by the unchecked rancor and fear-mongering combined with rampant disinformation and religious fervor that dominates the current socio-political arena.

Rick Perry's throwing his hat into the ring is a sure sign that we're living in the Teapocalypse.

wiper-tempo

the way windshield wipers act like metronomes and can dangerously affect the speed at which people drive in the rain – i.e., increasing rainfall = increasing wiper speed = increasing vehicle speed.

There’d be way fewer accidents in the rain, if they’d reinvent windshield wipers, eliminating wiper-tempo.

temporquel

similar to that of a sequel, prequel or interquel, a temporquel is an installment within a franchise that exists within canon but in an alternate timeline; often using time travel as a plot device. Examples would be the new “Star Trek” movies and most of the “Legend of Zelda” video games. Remakes and reboots that have the same characters but don’t establish themselves to be part of the previous canon are not temporquels.

“When does ‘Terminator Dark Fate’ take place? I saw Sarah Connor in the trailer, didn’t she die between ‘Terminator 2’ and 3?”

“Terminator Dark Fate” is a sequel to ‘Terminator 2’ but in an alternate timeline where she lives, it is a temporquel to ‘Terminator 3,’ 4 and 5.”

temporal disorientation

A state in which an individual has no bearing of time whatsoever. Can be caused by long periods of drinking, heavy drinking, concussions, coma, deep sleeps, or just general obliviousness.

After that 12th tequila shot I came to at my buddy's house in a state of complete temporal disorientation.

I jacked Mike in the head so hard he didn't know what day it was (temporal disorientation).

Galantir

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."
