Gender neutral term for ‘ma’am’ or ‘sir.’ Even though ‘sa’am’ is a portmanteau of the words ‘ma’am’ and ‘sir,’ ‘sa’am’ includes all genders and is formal.

Sa’am/sadam: a gender neutral, polite attention getter similar to ma’am or sir.

*A customer forgets a bag at the counter in a retail store. The cashier finds the customer to bring them their bag, but needs to get their attention first. Because the cashier doesn’t know the customers preferred pronouns, they will use sa’am to politely catch the customer’s attention without assuming the customer’s gender.*

Cashier: “Excuse me, sa’am, but you left your bag on the counter at my register.”

Customer: “Oh my, I didn’t even realize. Thank you, sa’am, and have a great day!”

Cashier: “No problem, sa’am. You also have a great day.”

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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?
