Original Russian Spelling: враньё

Pronunciation: vrɐˈnʲjɵ
Definition:
The lies that you know are lies that you tell to a person who knows you are lying, but both of you choose to see them as truth, even though both you and your audience know you're lying.

Oftimes you do it to yourself as a form of procrastination without a deadline, other times you do it in the workplace in order to tell a story that you and your boss knows is a fairy tale that the higher-ups want to hear,
Primarily, it is seen almost everywhere in 2 almost completely opposite settings:
1. Stock Markets, in which bubbles are constantly formed out of assets that everyone knows are worthless but only have value from the lies other investors tell to themselves.
2. Communist Dictatorships, in which everyone knows everyone else lies about their true beliefs and the current situation that they were in.
Their similarities centered on the mindset of constant growth and progress, an impossibility that only worked in a world where everyone lies to each other about the truth in order to keep their temporary good, no matter the aftermath.
Game Design Manager:
"The studio boss needs to hear that you made 10 more hours for the Game's pre-order soundtrack, Investors meet in 2 days and he wants something good to tell them."
Soundtrack Designer:
"That's impossible, how am I going to tell him that?"
Game Design Manager:
"Simple, redo the old audio, cut-n-loop, chop-n-paste. Cut corners. That's what I've been doing for as long as I've had this job, and it's paid off. Do what he says, and you can tell him what we all want to hear."
Soundtrack Designer:
"But what's the cost of lies? Who pays for that?"
Game Design Manager:
"Simple: Not us. The players preordered it, they get what they paid for, and we get paid."
Soundtrack Designer:
"Who pays the bill when those lies fall apart? From what this sounds like, the entire series is a goddamn house of cards moments before collapse, a bubble about to pop."
Game Design Manager:
"The house stays still and the bubble keeps floating, as long as we all keep telling the story that must be told. That's Vranyo."

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."
