A person or persons who deliberately partake in cultural assimilation via musical selection, cultural fads, fashion, or activities to garner a sense of high self-esteem and avoid rejection by one's peers even if it means sacrificing morality, taste, or common sense.

Society is comprised of a large number of pop culture groupies who listen to music and watch movies that are mediocre because it is poplar amongst their peers. Men are even starting to blur gender boundaries by wearing pink because they see celebrities do it on television.

k-town groupies

Girls who always hang out at bars/clubs in Koreatown (k-town) because they're obsessed with Korean dudes (mainly non-Korean Asians in love with k-pop). They hang out at the same asian bars/clubs and hook up with Korean bartenders or promoters and their friends. K-town groupies can easily be spotted as they always get free shots from the Korean bartenders.

Friend A: Check out those hot asian girls over at the bar.

Friend B: The Chinese girls? They're k-town groupies. They're here every weekend to drink and hook up with the Korean bartenders. It's all that k-pop craze.

Friend A: How do you know that?

Friend B: My friend told me. He's a bartender here. He knows the deal. Give those K-town groupies free shots and he'll get lucky.

Facebook Groupie

A person who always responds to another specific person's (i.e., the "target person") facebook status updates and links, typically within the first few minutes of it being shared.

The facebook groupie either 1) intensely romantically likes the target person, 2) wants to BE like the the target person, or 3) wants to be accepted by the target person's group of friends. The facebook groupie is often among the very first to respond to the target person's status updates/links and very rarely let's a target person's status update/links slip get by without a response.

They are often unaware how embarrassing, lap doggish, or futile their behavior appears to be. While the facebook groupie is typically of the opposite sex of the target person, facebook groupies can be the same gender as the target person.

Caveat: The term facebook groupie does not extend to family members or significant others. Therefore, you cannot be a facebook groupie to your husband/wife boyfriend/girlfriend, sister, brother, cousin, etc.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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?
