When you're being chased by a ghost in Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man and you quickly turn around after thinking you ate a Power Pellet, just to find out you didn't eat it. You end up losing a life.

This happens more in the higher speed levels because you try to eat the Power Pellet and then eat ghosts as fast as possible.

Premature Paculation DOES NOT refer to the wasting of Power Pellets

Dude: HEY! How come you just ran into that ghost on purpose?

Guy: I didn't mean to, it was Premature Paculation.

Dude: Oh, what's that?

Guy: I thought I went far enough to eat the Power Pellet but i turned around too quickly and the ghost wasn't edible.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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?
