Proto-Galactic 

An evolved form of English spoken around the year 2500 AD, known for its zenigmatic flow, spiritual undertones, connection to nature and phonetic transformations. It blends elisions, vowel shifts, and resonance-driven modifications to create a language both ethereal and enigmatic.

Proto-Galactic’s enigmatic nature means that even simple, everyday phrases can be transformed into something musically mysterious. For example, while the standard phrase might be “walk in a park,” a Proto-Galactic speaker might render it as:

“þrü leäfzz wi müv a hïdd’n soün.”

Here’s what makes this transformation special:
• Phonetic Play: The sounds are shifted and elided—notice how “þrü” suggests “through” or “tread,” and “leäfzz” invokes a natural, organic quality reminiscent of leaves or paths.
• Enigmatic Layer: Rather than stating the command directly, the phrase hints at a journey or a movement through a hidden, perhaps sacred, natural space—much like a park becomes a realm of subtle mystery.
• Zenigmatic Aesthetic: By altering the phonetics and structure, the phrase encapsulates the overall Zenigmatic vibe—a blend of Zen-like calm and enigma. It’s not just about the literal meaning, but about evoking a mood or state of mind.
The proto-galactic language is the most commonly spoken language in the galactic empire and has evolved over the 22nd through the 25th centuries as humanity began expanding through interstellar space and settled various planets, and it also has various dialects spoken across various planets with the Arianan or Imperial dialect bring the most widespread.

In Proto-Galactic speech, such transformations invite listeners to engage with the language on a sensory and emotional level, turning even a simple walk into a journey through mystery and mindfulness.

Below are ten example sentences written in the Proto‐Galactic language and capture its enigmatic, zenigmatic flavor—each paired with its everyday English meaning:
1. “þrü leäfzz wi müv a hïdd’n soün.”
(Walk in a park.)
2. “sït’ïn on a shïll bënkh.”
(Sit on a chill bench.)
3. “drïft’ïn övër a slëp’n strëäm.”

4. “rïz’ïn in thë shïn’ïn dän.”
(Rise into the shining dawn.)
5. “glïd’ïn thrü a vëlvët fôrest.”

6. “müv’ïn wïth sälën’ïn sölf mïnd.”
(Move with a silent, soulful mind.)
7. “wänd’ïn thrü a shïld’st gärd’n.”
(Wander through a child’s garden.)
8. “explör’ïn thë kösmïk horïzën.”

9. “rës’tïn in öur havën.”

10. “exhæl’ïn öur shïll rësönänzz.”

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.
Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
