Rayban Effect 

The 'Rayban Effect' works with particularly with the males of our species. It is the instance in when a guy looks super fine while wearing a pair of rayban wayfarers, and in the act of removing them considerably lessens his appearance and 'coolness' factor.

The rayban effect is a modern problem for girls on the prowl, it is becoming increasingly harder to differentiate between true babes and guys under the rayban effect.

These men come under two categories, as seen below; with the option of mid range rayban effect as well.

High rayban effect: Hot with glasses, not without.

Low rayban effect: Hotness is simply ENHANCED with raybans, guy is still hot without.
Girl on the prowl no.1: "oh look at that babe there, high or low rayban effect??"

Girl on the prowl no.2: "Hmm..Potentially high I suggest we try get a profile view, it always helps."

Guy with rayban effect turns to side (and/or) removes sunglasses.

Girls no.1 & no.2: "ohh dear, it's a high. lets move on."

The Ray-Ban Effect 

The Ray-Ban effect is an international phenomenon.

Any male of any age, who wears signature black Ray-Ban sunglasses, seem to instantly increase their physical attractiveness by a minimum of fifty percent. Ray-Bans happen to compliment any male's face and overall style. One can easily assume the male has a great sense of fashion if they are wearing Ray-Bans.
Me: "Wow, that guy looks hot."
Zoe: "That's only because he's wearing Ray-Bans."
Me: "True; it must be The Ray-Ban Effect."

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.
