a Schweizer is German for "a person from Switzerland" - (not from Sweden) Switzerland is a country in the middle of europe next to Germany, France, Italy, Liechtenstein an Austria (and NOT Australia).

A dialog with Guys from America or other countries is mostly this:
A: I'm swiss
B: Oh, You're from Sweden!
A: No, I'm from Switzerland, that's in the center of europe, next to Germany, France, Italy and Austria.
B: What?!? Switzerland is next to Australia?
A: éh... okay. Yes. *rolleyes*

Okay. I hope some people are more clever. But that's classic. Okay, and a little overdone. But...

Ich bin Schweizer
(I'm suisse.)

Schweigefox

From the German "Schweige" meaning silence and the English "Fox". This term was created on a German reality TV show in a moment of extreme frustration. It accompanies a hand gesture (pointer finger and pinkie are ears, thumb and remaining fingers create the fox face), which can be thrust into someones face while exclaiming, "schweigefox!". Referred to in Judge John Hodgman Episode 175: Failure to Appear

This is used to interrupt someone who will not stop talking. So the example is merely, "Schweigefox!"

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?
