Metrophobia, contrary to pop-cultural belief, means "fear of hatred of poetry." It does NOT have anything to do with women fearing so-called "metrosexuals."

Mum, I've told you 1000 times, your poetry is crap and I'm metrophobic!

Metrophobia

An uncommon fear of poetry.

Metrophobia by Phobiaz July 22, 2008

metrophobe

(n.) One who has an irrational fear or dislike of men who have grooming habits, personal style, or fashion sense.

In men, metrophobia is related to homophobia, but it is also likely a defense mechanism against new trends.

In women, it likely arises out of an insecurity about the ability of the woman to establish or maintain a relationship with a desirable metrosexual.

Metrophobes are likely to be found among those raised outside of cities, who have since started living or working in cities and are bewildered and frightened of the diverse people and customs. Behaving much like animals, caught up in a complex world that they can't comprehend, metrophobes turn their fear into dislike and criticism of the new. The best way to deal with metrophobes is to quietly coax them into the understanding that we don't have to look like cavemen forever.

She is such a metrophobe, she only dates cavemen.

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?
