RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)

The most painful disease known to man. According to the McGill Pain Scale, RSD also known as CRPS, ranks higher than childbirth and cancer in pain. Nicknamed the "suicide disease", it is a progressive disorder that develops most often after surgery or a simple injury such as a broken bone. The sympathetic nervous system freaks out, and the limb does not heal correctly. The person is left with debilitating burning pain. The disease can spread to other limbs, and to the internal organs once central sensitization occurs. All body systems are affected including bones, skin, blood vessels, etc.

Little is being done in terms of finding a cure or better treatment. Current treatment options suck and include Stellate Ganglion Blocks, Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks, epidurals, Ketamine infusions, Neurostimulation, Intrathecal Pumps, Calmare Therapy, & Lots of Medication.

Most people describe this condition as 'Hell" as you slowly lose function, independence, and live in very severe pain 24/7.

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?
