javascript:void(0)

What you just did. You were tired and your clumsy hand dragged one of the buttons above the Search Bar into the Search Bar. Don't worry, we've all been through this.
"- How tf does it know??"

You, right now in front of your screen after having accidentally searched for "javascript:void(0)".

javascript:void(0)

What you just saw when you dragged a UI element into the search bar. This happens because web developers really like to use the HTML <a> element for buttons instead of the actual <button> element. You can give the element functionality by listening for its click event and doing things then, but the <a> element is intended for creating hyperlinks and as such won't work without a set href attribute (AKA the link that you are taken to when you click on it). Therefore, you can use the void JavaScript operator, which will return the value undefined. If the browser is told to go to undefined, it will just keep the current page open. void will also evaluate its operands first, so <a href="javascript:void(alert('you clicked me'))">click me</a> would show "you clicked me" when clicked, but most people would just use javascript:void(0) and alert "you clicked me" on the click event, as said before. Urban Dictionary uses the javascript:void(0) technique for some of its UI elements, so when you just dragged the browse (or categories, or cart) button into the search bar, and I know you did, its href attribute was copied into the search bar, and now you're looking at javascript:void(0) and contemplating your life choices.
guy 1: god fucking damn it i just dragged a ui element into the search bar and searched for javascript:void(0), thats so annoying why does it even happen

guy 2: it happens because people cant use the <button> element and have to use <a> for some reason

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.
