Knowing something is incredibly stupid that makes sense to do, but you know you'll get your ass kicked for doing it. And still you step up and do it because no one else will. Or confronting you're worst fears but acting like it's nothing and facing down the fear.

A professor in a university once stressed a huge test that was coming up that was worth 3/4 of your total semesters grade. When the students got the test they were stunned. There was only one question:
What is bravery?
all the students got to work and wrote for hours, except one he tapped his pencil on the desk, smiled, andtook the test up to the teacher. It was handed back to him with a 100% at the top.
The students answer was:
This is Bravery.

Bravery Test

A term coined by Bob Ross, he would use it as a way to describe when you have to paint something that could very easily ruin the painting. Typically it'd also be something he'd tell you not to trace or copy the way he does it.

Also usable as any time you need to do something with high risk/reward.

Bob Ross: See, you have to decide where the tree lives. This is going to be your Bravery Test

Bravery

-Being scared shirtless, being 28273% terrified, but fighting anyway.

-Doing the right thing, or what is right, even if it hurts.

"Grandpa look! It's Superman! And Iron-man and Captain America! Can I be like them one day? A hero? Be courageous, and honest, and have bravery-"
"Bravery," the man sneered, "Is losing everything you have to the darkness, but still finding the light within you to fight. Are you ready to lose everything? Are you ready to die?"

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?
