A documentary that is misleading, often using slight of hand and statistics, purposely designed to fox* you.

*Fox = To trick or fool by ingenuity or cunning; outwit. To baffle or confuse.

Note: It is often incorrectly thought that 'foxumentary' came about as a disparaging term for documentaries seen on the Fox network. This is not the case, and all networks my put out foxumentaries. It is merely a coincidence that the fox network is perceived by many as putting out nothing but foxumentaries.

"That anti-environmentalist film was a foxumentary."

"That's not a fair and balanced! It's a foxumentary."

"That program on Bush's legacy was a foxumentary"

The 'documentary' on the fox network last night was a foxumentary" (pun - how apt)

Foxygen

A band that is "literally psychedelic" with songs "Make it Known" & "San Francisco." Listening becomes highly addictive. France and Rado said in an interview that their name came from some chick who reserved the term "Foxygen" for cute guys. Their music is like going back in the time and into the future. You'll hear influences from The Doors & The Rolling Stones to name a few. Their live performances are like theater and will envelop you into a realm of unadulterated quirky maneuvers.

Foxygen is Mavis Staples telling you "l'll Take You There" and Jean Knight giving you the "Mr. Big Stuff" treatment while Mick & Jim are yelling in your ear.

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?
