Tute Screw 

Shortened version for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Screw.

A screw that has threads that go both ways. No matter which way you turn it, always goes farther up your ass. It is a way to represents how RPI makes life unnecessarily difficult for RPI students.

Every RPI student has been 'tute screwed at least once or has only been on campus a few weeks.
You are required to register for two different classes, but they are held at the same. Both are required prerequisites for other courses that you also have to take. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.

The course catalog for your curriculum lays out required, restricted-required and suggested optional classes that total to 123 credits, but you need 124 to graduate. You're on track to be one credit short of graduation, but you don't discover this until your second semester senior year. And not once, did any of the professors or your academic adviser ever point that out during the previous seven semesters in which you were enrolled at RPI. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.

The Board of Trustees promises that hikes in parking fees will be used to improve and expand parking lots. Shortly after paying for the privilege of parking, the Trustees change their mind and use the fees to plug general budget deficits. Now, assuming you can find a parking spot, you risk damage to your car because of the pot holes that weren't filled. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.

After you graduate, RPI sends you a diploma if your debts to them are satisfied. After you get the diploma, RPI sends you bills for debts they claim you owe. While you defend yourself against these bills, their fund raisers constantly telephone you looking for donations. They don't see the irony in this. Congratulations; you've been tute screwed.

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.

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."
