The momentary heart-stop you get when you're looking at pornography and think there's a picture of you up there, and you mentally catalogue whether any ex's may have secretly taken a picture of you without you knowing it and then posted it on the internet.
I was browsing a porn blog when I was struck with an acute case of pronanoia! But I quickly realized I didn't have a twin sister, or a bathtub full of Jell-O.

Pronoia is a mental condition we should all have.

Pronoia is neologism that is defined as the opposite state of mind to paranoia: having a sense that there is a conspiracy that exists to help the person.
It is also used to describe a philosophy that the world is set up to secretly benefit people.

-AH Simkins
My pronoia kicked in when I realized that it only takes a few months to learn a new language, and not several years.

Now I feel more courageous to learn yet another language.

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.

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.
