increasingly verbose meme

A type of multi-frame image in which a lackluster or overused meme is replicated with poorer graphical fidelity but increased verbosity successive times to the point where it is difficult to understand the meme without the original context. Also called 'meme corruption' or 'progressively verbose meme'.
Captions of an increasingly verbose meme:

Frame 1: It's high noon

Frame 2: The time is 12pm.

Frame 3: The grandfather clock currently displays a reading of twelve o'clock post meridian.

Frame 4: It has become increasingly apparent to me that due to the rotation of Earth relative to the Sun, the current "time" as defined by Ancient Egyptians via the decan system is denoted by the numerical value "twelve" of the clock, signalling that the Sun is at the highest point in the sky.
Verbosity is the ability, limited in the general population, to utilize words which may be archaic, lengthy, and in the English language are more often than not based in Latin. Quite often, the phrases used in such a manner are synonymous with much more succinct forms. In addition to the expansive vocabulary utilized, prose which is deemed 'verbose' will quite often feature parenthetical phrases in unusual frequency, as might be found in scientific journals or university textbooks. Though accepted in academic contexts for its ability to explain, in great detail, concepts which may seem rather complex to the average layperson, the overuse of excessive verbosity will often cause common folk, especially those who might be afflicted with the neurological disorder known as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), to lose interest in the concepts being explained, and thus the knowledge they might gain would be lost to them. Moderation, therefore, is the key to the proper usage of verbosity.

It's good for padding English essays, and there's a type of thread on 4chan that shows up every once in a while where people talk like that for the lulz.
Person 1: Should you deign to learn the definition of Verbose, one needs only glance upwards, and focus one's eyes on the paragraph above.
Person 2: Uh, you lost me at "deign."

Verbose boot

1. When a Mac (or Linux) user boots his/her computer in verbose boot mode. Like iDevice verbosity, except a bit less-filled with crap on the screen, and more juicy info. Mac users, hold down Command (/Apple) + V, Linux users, remove the -splash flag from your kernel boot string.(through the bootloader)

2. When after you've jailbroken (See jailbreaking your iDevice you use redsn0w to set it to verbose boot, so you can watch your iDevice load all it's settings and fuctions while it loads. Or, for debugging if something goes wrong and it won't boot. Highly useful.

Quite amusing, or even scary at times for friends.
Person 1: *walks into room and sees Person 2's Mac verbose booting*
Person 1: Whoah wtf omg what happened to your computer!?
Person 2: It's a verbose boot.

-- Example #2 --

Apple Customer *has device jailbroken*
Apple Store Rep: ..Ok, so what's wrong with it?
Apple Customer: It won't boot
Apple Rep: Well then let me take a look at it. *Presses power button and screen is filled with verbose text*
Apple Rep *gives the customer a weird expression* o_O

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."
