Amazon Prime

The Amazon Prime, often shortened to just "the Prime", is the supreme leader of the Capitalist Republic of Amazon. The name "Amazon Prime" originated as a subscription service that rewarded people who bought it with perks such as a streaming service and free shipping, but once Amazon seized control of the United States during the First Brand War (2037-2040), the subscription service became mandatory for all citizens, so the name "Amazon Prime" was repurposed for the leader of Amazon. The current Prime is Jeff Bezos IV.

Bezos III was a better Amazon Prime than Bezos IV imo. Bezos III introduced same hour delivery and legalized interspecial marriage, all Bezos IV did was drag us into war with Alibaba and Tencent.

GLORY TO THE REPUBLIC, HEIL TO THE PRIME, AMAZON UNTIL THE END OF TIME!

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?
