an english (manchester-based) alternative rock/indie rock/electronic rock/indie pop band from Wilmslow in Cheshire. The band is made up of Matt Healy (vocals, guitar), Adam Hann (guitar), George Daniel (drums) and Ross MacDonald (bass). Pretty much the most beautiful/amazing/brilliant band around. Their music is a mixture of this-is-so-profound-and-exquisite-i-am-going-to-cry and i-am-dancing-like-a-loser-this-is-my-jam. Basically, perfection.

"This song is so freaking brilliant my heart just fell out of my ass."
"It's The 1975."
"Obviously."

The 1975

One of the most brilliant bands in the past 10 years. The amount of thought and work that goes into their look, their music, their brand is unmattched. They all play mutiple instruments, as well as write and produce their own music. The depth of this band is often overlooked by people who take things at face value, because most if not all of thier songs are satire, metaphor, or commentary. You won't get it if you're not listening closely.

A: The 1975 is basic, just a boyband singing about Chocolate and Girls and Sex.

B: You do know those are just metaphors, right?

The 1975

Undoubtedly the defining indie band of the 2010’s - Matty Healy’s unhinged, provocative and witty lyricism coupled with his and George’s stellar production results in an inexplicable sensation of pure bliss. It’s also important to mention the brilliance of Adam’s guitar licks, and Ross’ funkadelic bass lines. In spite of the band’s undeniable excellence, they are widely misunderstood, and without close examination, Matty’s lyrics can often be seen as pretentious spiel, despite being some of the most earnest and sincere writing ever heard by humanity. Long live The 1975.

Cayden: Mate, have you heard the 1975’s new album; Being Funny in a Foreign Language?
Sam: Yes boss! It’s fucking brilliant - Happiness is honestly one of the most uplifting and beautifully composed numbers I have ever heard!

The 1975

A band that emotionaly unstable teenage girls who wear dr martens and fishnet tights listen to, or in some case 20 year old men, because they're "edgy".

"Have you listened to the 1975's new album?"

"No because Iam not that edgy"

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."

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?
