Frankenstein Real Life

The messy, contradictory, functional experience of actually living. It is what happens when you stop demanding coherence and start navigating work, love, politics, family, and hobbies—each with its own rules, values, and realities. In Frankenstein Real Life, you are not a unified subject but a committee of selves. You say one thing at work, another at home, another online. You act on principle in one moment and on impulse in the next. Yet you persist. This concept helps destigmatize inconsistency and normalize the human condition. It is an antidote to perfectionism and ideological purity.
Example: “His Frankenstein Real Life meant being a vegan at home (ethics) and eating fish at his grandmother’s house (respect)—two contradictory rules, one functioning grandson.”

Frankenstein Real Life Theory

A pragmatic, anti-idealist theory about how actual everyday life is assembled from incompatible scripts, roles, and expectations. It rejects the notion that a “good life” must be coherent—that one’s work, family, politics, and spirituality should align. Instead, it argues that real life is a monster stitched together from contradictions: you are a loving parent and a ruthless manager; a loyal friend and a gossip; an environmentalist and a frequent flyer. People manage these contradictions not by resolving them but by compartmentalizing and switching contexts. The theory explains why hypocrisy is not a personal failing but a structural feature of complex social roles. It advocates for compassionate realism: instead of demanding integrity, understand that life is patchwork.
Example: “Frankenstein Real Life Theory explained her guilt-free enjoyment of a hamburger after an animal rights protest—different contexts, different selves, one stitched life.”

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?
