unschool 

Similar to homeschooling, minus the learning part. There is no curriculum involved, there is no structure, and there is no social interaction with other kids their age. Typically leads to severe social anxiety, an IQ of 79, the inability to spell any word over 4 letters, refusal of vaccinations, homeopathy, and virtually no grasp on how the scientific method works. Honestly they don't even know what the scientific method is. They can't spell science.
"I started unschooling Johnny this week!"

"Oh is that like homeschooling?"
"Kind of, I just let him sit at home eating whatever food I can afford to buy him with my food stamps, and he's gotten really good at Minecraft."
"Oh...well that doesn't sound very healthy. Are you sure it works?"
"I'm not sure, but last night I heard him scream 'YOU SHIT EATING COCK NOZZLE, I'LL FUCK YOUR MOM!' while he was playing Call of Duty."
A term used to describe children at a small private school in Fort Lauderdale. The kids at this school all drive cars over and 100k and cannot live without their juuls

unschooler 

A very cool person who does not go to school. But no, not a homeschooler. They live and learn, living in the world, not wasting years learning about it. Not stupid, sheltered farmers, but very cool, easygoing, awesome people.
Who is that intelligent, good-looking, charismatic guy standing over there?

Must be an unschooler.

unschooling 

A form of homeschooling where there is no set curriculum or regular classwork. Instead, a more student-lead schooling is used where learning is not simply defined as, for e.g., 'reading a math book'. Most activities can be educational.
People who are unschooled tend to do far better than average when they attend college.

unschooling 

A term coined in the 70's by writer and former school-teacher John Holt. Used to describe the practice of an individual who does not attend school- instead choosing to travel, write, play, run, build things, volunteer, and learn about the world free of grades, subjects, periods and "school hours".

"where most schooling puts the emphasis on what needs to be learned, unschooling puts the emphasis on who is doing the learning."

Unschooling 

Unschooling is a term coined by John Holt who championed education reform in the 1960's. Unschooling is the philosophy of assiting your child's education through exposing them to educational opprotunities in real life and relating important material to your child instead of teaching out of a prepackaged curriculum. It is often called child led education or intrest directed education as well.
An example of unschooling would be your child learn about math, science, history, and language arts through their intrest in Yougioh (the most random thing I could think of). For math they would learn about the thousands of duel monsters out there and the complex math rules of the card game (trust me that some serious math there). The science would come from learning about television and the technology that goes into making a show. Also they would learn about biomes by learning about how different monsters live and do better (in both the game and show) in different environments and then discussing with them how that relates to animals in real life. History would come from learning about the Japanese culture and the history of television, card games and their impact on society, Language arts could come from writing to a Japanese pen pal about anime they have their and the societal differences such as America's censorship of material allowed in Japan.

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."
