A scapegoat mantra chanted by ultra-conservatives and the news media whenever a violent incident occurs in the United States
Just one of many forms of Americans shrugging off accountability.

Damn dude, did you see the news? Kyle got arrested for beating up an old woman at the Waffle House. His alcoholic mom just got interviewed by the local news. She was blaming Marilyn Manson and Minecraft, on that whole "video games cause violence" tangent. When is she going to wake up and see that her son has always been an asshole and she's had 27 years to do something about it?

Old video games

Old video games rock. No matter how you slice it. Back in the day developers didn't rush to get their games out. Nowadays, when games are rushed for their release date, they lose features!! But thank god, many old games are still being played. Sadly, it only takes ten years for a game to become old. Hell, I know some kids who have never heard of Pokemon Crystal (THE most badass pokemon game ever.)!! Even the earliest Final Fantasy games are old, and still kick ass. I own a SNES and I play on that about twice as often as I do my Xbox 360. Sure, the gameplay isn't as nice on old consoles, but who cares?

Old video games rock.

I just beat MegaMan 2 in an ALL BUSTER RUN!!

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."
