A sub-genre of video games in the side scrolling shooter genre, where the screen is usually COVERED in bullets.

These games usually consist of your player character at the bottom of the screen, dodging waves of bullets and shooting at enemies, until you reach the end of the stage where you are greeted by a difficult boss with even more dangerous bullet patterns.

These games are strangely fun in a masochistic kind of way.

Not to be confused with Bulletstorm.

Touhou is an example of a bullet hell game.

Bullet Hose

An automatic weapon with a high rate of fire; a weapon that fires its rounds so quickly and in such large quantities that it can be compared to water spraying out of a garden hose.

"The MG42 is a real bullet hose; it burns through ammo belts in ten seconds flat."

bulltimatum

An ultimatum that is disregarded because everyone knows that it will never be enforced.

Husband: That's it, I've had it! If that kitchen is not clean within the next half hour I'll never have sex with you again!

Wife: Uh-huh, right.... You can't make it a week. Sounds like you just issued a 'bulltimatum'.

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?
