Used to describe some skill or ability that one excels in.

Originally coined by Ralph Wiggum of the Simpsons, saying "Sleep! That's where I'm a viking!" While obviously meaning that he is a viking in his dream, it has been reinterpreted by nerds to mean that Ralph excels at sleep, and describes himself as a "viking" in that field.

Most often used by Dungeons and Dragons nerds to describe a particularly high stat.

"Roll for Reflex, you say? That's where I'm a viking!"

that's where I'm a Viking

Used to describe excellence in failure or, more specifically, success at a skill or in a field which is so ignoble as to be a kind of failure.

The phrase derives from The Simpsons episode "Lisa the Vegetarian." Ralph Wiggum, a deeply unintelligent and maladjusted child, eats the worm he is supposed to dissect. Ralph's teacher, Miss Hoover, defeated and calloused toward Ralph's learning disabilities, tells Ralph that there are no more worms and he should "try to sleep while the other children are learning." Ralph rejoices saying "Oh boy ... sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!"

The implication is that Ralph is too stupid to be taught, too stupid to know he is being robbed of an education, but also too stupid to use an education anyway, thus happy to be released from the trial of trying. Now used to describe joyful release in accepting lowliness and failure, especially when failure allows for some trivial but enjoyable hobby.

I flunked my midterm but now I can get back to playing Rocket League, that's where I'm a Viking.

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.

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."
