Lawrence Sheriff School 

Supposedly the best school in the country, but mildly homosexual:
1)A boys school, so lots of fallace obsession (crudely drawn fallace litters the walls)
2)Being with one with a feminine gender orientation is considered positively homosexual
3)Sport is not used for recreation, but is instead used as a spectator sport for bathroom fondlings
Guy 1: What school do you go to?
Guy 2: Lawrence Sheriff School
Guy 1: Oh, so you litter the walls with crudely drawn fallace, don't go out with girls and enjoy sport time fondling?

Bedford North Lawrence High School

Bedford North Lawrence High School (BNL) is a high school located in southern Indiana, about 30 minutes away from Bloomington. BNL is known for their outstanding teen pregnancy rates and underage drinking. BNL is also known for having a different principal every school year due to scandalous acts. Your closest friend will stab you in the back in a accumulative of about 0.2 seconds. Hicks will fill your lungs with black smoke and try to run over your car as you're pulling out of the parking lot. Popular kids will stand in the middle of the stairwells and strike up a conversation. There are a total of 3 black kids in the school, maybe. Everyone believes they are either a photographer, a model, or an artist. If you don't smoke weed everyday, then you're a pussy. If you aren't getting drunk of the weekends, then you might as well kill yourself.

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?
