Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre A controversial, behavior modifying, "rehabilitation program" for youth located in Calgary, Alberta.

AARC is pseudo-residential, using homes of oldcomer clients to house newer clients, also known as newcomers.

AARC utilizes a level system similar to Straight Inc. and group Synanon type sessions called rap to progress clients and families through to graduation.

AARC hires it's own graduates and family members to work as addiction specialists, junior peer counselors, peer counselors, sibling counselors, clinical staff and other positions with only their experience at AARC for credentials.

CBC's documentary Program The Fifth Estate won awards in 2009 for their expose on the AARC program, titled "Powerless".
I would be dead insane or in jail, AARC saved my life, I work there as a counselor to give back.

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.
