A haibane is a winged, angel like person who lives in the town of Guri. The word comes from the anime Haibane Renmei by yoshitoshi ABe sic. A haibane is born, fully grown, from a huge cocoon, with no memory of who they are or where they came from. They are then given a halo which floats above their head and, violently and painfully, grow small wings (about 3 or 4 foot wingspan). Eventually a Haibane has their "Day of Flight" which comes with no warning. Without telling anyone they go to a shrine in the Western Woods and disappear. All that is left is a bright light which travels up towards the sky and a darkened halo.

Rakka is a newborn haibane and is still learning about the town of Guri.

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?
