Streamers call boosting in destiny 2 "Recovs"(short form for Account recovery) . In fact it has nothing to do with recovering your account(etc when you lost your password/hacked), basically just to make boosting in trials/comp sound better.
Me: Why is boosting called recovs in this game? Isn't it just boosting?
Twitch chat: idk man

Trump Recovery Syndrome 

A phenomenon whereby individuals who were triggered by President Trump, go through a series of stages before finally calming down and feeling peace. This is entirely natural after 4+ years of his anxiety-provoking madness. The nervous system has to re-calibrate. Our habitual range of e-motion has to return to healthier parameters. Those stages may include deep sleep, hyper-vigilance, spontaneous joy, intermittent rage, feelings of boredom, generalized anxiety, a persistent need to check media, a hunger for intensity, pendulating between emotional armor and moments of surrender. It is very similar to one’s experience of reality after any abuser leaves their life. It takes real time to integrate the fact that they are gone, particularly in the case of a malignant-narcissist who has a perpetual need for attention. Anyone suffering from TRS will benefit from a patient approach to their recovery. Trump hit many buttons, and it will take time before your nervous system can regulate. - Jeff Brown
Hey Dude, don't be pushing on me that Q-ANON nonsense about the election being stolen. I am still traumatized and going through Trump Recovery Syndrome.

Recovering Pick Up Artist 

Recovering PUA ("Pick Up Artist") - N. A person who, after studying mass-marketed 'Pick Up Techniques' and putting them into practise, discovers that he is not any happier, nor self-satisfied, nor socially-calibrated than he was before - only now he cannot communicate with people except in 'PUA jargon', and has alienated all his non-PUAfriends.
"Have you noticed the change in Larry? I'm not embarrassed to be seem with him anymore!"

"Yeah, he's a Recovering Pick Up Artist; he's got it mostly under control now. If he starts ignoring us to hit on every girl around, or if he starts dehumanizing women, we're supposed to call his Sponsor."

Christian Reconstructionist

One who adheres to the idea that the United States of America should become a theocracy ruled by the rules of the Bible; a Christian Republic.
The President may not be a Christian Reconstructionist, but many of his favorite evangelical preachers are.

recovery mode

An excuse for just about anything, basically means "I can do it, but not now".

Ideally to be in recovery mode means that one can't perform an action because they have already done it recently and are still "recovering" from it. Thought to be derived from the term people sometimes use to describe their state after an intense workout when they are supposedly weaker from straining themselves and can justify dismissing a challenge. Because "recovery mode" allows someone to excuse themselves from doing something and make it seem like this was because they do it so much, it is often used by egotistical smartasses and cocky jocks. However it can also be used in a completely irrelevant way, often to great comedic effect.
EXAMPLE 1:
guy1: "...no way you go to the gym. Look at you, so pinner!"
guy2: "If you think you're so strong, why don't we arm wrestle right now!"
guy1: "Nah, I'm in recovery mode"
guy2: "Sure, ever since the last time when I won!"

EXAMPLE 2:
teacher: "Marco, why was your essay incomplete?"
student: "I was in recovery mode"
teacher: "oh..."

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?
