A stance where “critical thinking” is reduced to a prescribed set of intellectual habits—always questioning, always demanding sources, always avoiding fallacies—that become a moral identity rather than a flexible toolkit. Being thoughtfully correct means performing skepticism in the approved manner: citing the right authorities, using the right terms (“confirmation bias,” “straw man”), and treating any failure to meet these standards as evidence of intellectual failure. Like political correctness, it can stifle genuine inquiry by creating a hierarchy of who is allowed to speak and under what conditions, all under the banner of thinking “correctly.”

Example: “He asked her for a source on her personal experience, then dismissed her source as ‘biased.’ He was being thoughtfully correct: using the language of critical thinking to avoid actually thinking about what she said.”

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.

Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
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."
