Howah by dylshire July 22, 2018
An enthusiastic greeting, used in the place of "how's it going?" or "sup?"

Derived from a cross between "how's it," with the suffix zah attached, which is another form of the suffix zor. Except that "zor" may be used to indicate a plural, while "zah" is only used in the singular.

The suffix "zah" originated in chat rooms, while phonetically typing with an accent. A prime example of this accent can be found in the song "IM the Supervisor" from the famed techno artist Infected Mushroom, in which the vocalist says "I'm the supervisor" repeatedly, making it sound like soop-uh-vi-zah.
P1: howzah?
P2: nm, u?
P1: just playin some gamezor.

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.
