The uncomfortable few days between Christmas and the New Year when nothing seems to happen. The old year is dead; the new one hasn't begun. Everyone else is on holiday, television is showing older re-runs than normal, and the shops are either shut or crowded.
The kids' presents needed batteries, but everywhere seemed to be closed for the annopause.

Autopause 

Walking to a car, it's the place where a conversation becomes momentarily awkward, and often comes to a complete halt after a few failed attempts to shout over the large American sedan or SUV. Emerging from the autopause, the appropriate sentence is "What were we talking about?"
Jane and I were walking to the parkinglot- talking of memories past when upon arriving at the car we put our grocieries in the trunk. In order to get into the car, we went thru the autopause and felt weird that we could not see each other. We had time to think independently for a moment, and when we backed out into traffic, Jane said "What were we talking about?"

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.
