1080i is a DHTV high definition widescreen displaying standard. Commonly pronounced /ten-eighty I/.
1080 means resolution of 1920x1080, i stands for interlaced, which means two fields of half-quality image are being unpercievably rapidly swapped in every frame of such display, in outcome it has half the image quality as opposed to progressive 1080p. As a counsequence of which, framerate is being mentioned in Fields per seconds, that means interlaced displays have half the framerate and sharpness as progressive displays, where famerate is in full Frames per second.

Dood 1: Is the 1080i better than 1080p? I am confused.

Informed friend of dood 1: no, it's in fact below 720p. The quality rises like this: 480i 480p 1080i 720p 1080p.

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."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
