The vaguely-triangular strip of road separating a highway exit from the actual off-ramp. So named because drivers will use the space to stop and make decisions, merge through to the off-ramp after making split-second decisions, and/or crash into water-filled barrels or exit signs contained therein after failing to properly make a decision.

(To a passenger) Did you see that guy cut through the decision lane?
(To another driver) Nice use of the decision lane, idiot!
(Relating a story) Ted really needed to stop, so he parked in the decision lane.
(Relating directions) You can merge off the ramp that's next to the decision lane without any barrels.

cupcake decision

Similar to Cocaine Decision an irrationally optimistic impulsive decision to start a vintage or retro small business, with no idea of who will actually pay good money for the flowery-heart-craft-thing, wavy hair or indeed cupcake, that is proposed.

"It's on handmade paper with natural dyes and each one takes 2 hours of my time so I think fifteen pounds for a birthday card is fair, right?"

"I love the whole retro look and at least 2 of my friends bought some off me so everyone will..."

"Have you thought that through? sounds like a cupcake decision to me..."

decision stream

Decision stream - a statistic-based supervised learning technique that generates a deep directed acyclic graph of decision rules to solve classification and regression tasks

By increasing the number of samples in each node and reducing the tree width, the Decision stream preserves statistically representative data and allows extremely deep graph architecture that can consist of hundreds of levels.

Colonial Decision

Anything that one does to veer away from something normal. It applies to sibling rivalry or going against peer pressure. It also can mean something that you do that is boldly different.

Cole Sprouse made the colonial decision when he decided to dress like a pilgrim while his bro Dylan kept on the normal teenager path.

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?
