The grammar troll couldn't defend his side of the argument, all he could do was point out my incorrect "your/you're"

Grammar Troll 

Often inaccurately defined as a Grammar Nazi (even here on the Urban Dictionary, see tags), a Grammar Troll is, most simply, someone who corrects the grammar of other people. Grammar Nazis may also correct grammar, but there are differences to be noted.

1) Grammar Trolls have no inhibition. They will correct all grammatical mistakes they see. Unlike a Grammar Nazi, they will correct trivial spelling a punctuation errors and nitpick word choice, especially when those minor errors or diction do not affect the meaning of the statement.

2) Grammar Trolls will do nothing but correct grammar. Most Grammar Trolls are aroused when finding themselves in arguments they realize they cannot win. That is when they resort to pettily correcting the most trivial mistakes, especially the misuse of homophones, in an attempt to undermine their opponents' credibility while not actually attempting to refute their opponents' points nor defend their own.

3) A Grammar Troll may use improper grammar while making these corrections and attacks. It is important to note that even true Grammar Nazis make mistakes. However, if while correcting someone a person makes a painful grammatical blunder that should not have been made, especially if multiple are made in succession, that person is a Grammar Troll.

4) Grammar Trolls are generally assholes. Generally, a Grammar Nazi will be respectful in correcting grammar. But a Grammar Troll is in almost all cases condescending, smug, and spiteful.
I had hoped he might give me a good argument, but he was only a Grammar Troll who gave up when I began proof-reading my comments.

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?
