Ludotography

To tell a story through gameplay.
"Just look at how much mileage a game like Hellblade can get when it puts the effort into telling so much of the story through its gameplay and since I've started to taste copper when I say that I'm just gonna call it "ludotography" from now on and pray that someday some poor etymologist has to source its origin from a sentence that ends with the word "cunt""

Phil Lynott

Phil Lynott rose to fame as the bass pounding lead singer of 'Thin Lizzy'. Although other definitions on this site state these facts, he did not die of a heroin overdose and he was not born in Crumlin. He was born in West Bromwich in England, but was raised in Crumlin. He died of multiple organ failure after many years of heroine abuse. He was in the hospital for a week before dying. Phil Lynott was the coolest man around. He was once asked what it was like to be black and Irish. He replied - "Like a Pint of Guiness". Ever the joker and the ladies man, Phil was also one tough guy, and was quick to defend his friends with his fists and his razor sharp tongue if needed. He is missed dearly to this day, and has left one of the greatest legacies in rock music behind him.
An example of Phil Lynott's razor sharp tongue:

When told about a bad review he recieved from a reporter who was well known for not liking Hard Rock music, Phil replied 'If you see him, tell him I think he is a cunt, and if he is around when you are... (and you will point him out to me) I'm gonna knock his fucking head off.'

Full of energy. Love attention and loves being around loved ones. Your name of Lydon creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas.

You are rather studious, mentally challenging each new idea before accepting it.

Because you learn so quickly you have little patience with those whose mental processes are somewhat slower, and you could become somewhat "know it all" in your attitude.
Lydon is darling boy, but I can't keep up with him, he has soo much energy.

John Lydon 

You know...
A.K.A. Johnny Rotten. PiL, Sex Pistols; you love him, I love him, what's not to love? He's your typical rotten, punk, asshole. We all expect it from him, so who cares, he's awesome! Doesn't care about much else besides the Sex Pistols, but we should all be so closed-minded. Besides the fact that he has a great voice, he was hot...a long, long time ago... He's an icon and THE ImAgE of punk, forget Sid compared to this guy. John Lydon is awesome, so live a little...
John Lydon is my Idol! I stole my entire image from Billy, which he stole from him! I can't wait to see one of his damn concerts!!

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.
