Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair 

The Science Fiction Writers Association and Horror Writers Association a few days before Halloween 2010 uncovered the serial plagiarist, David "Doc" Boyer who collected 71 stories from other writers and pulled a Stephen Glass on them. This makes what Fandom_Wank is prone to seem tame as Boyer not only plagiarized from original fiction writers but also their fanfiction counterparts as he would employ his multiple personalities as their bylines. CreateSpace and Lulu.com are still selling the illicit lit and authors who caught him are still taking aim at them, one of the authors he stole from was the writer behind the controversial short story on The House of Pain.

Then scammed him with "Electrocuting the Clowns" in his first namesake project as he rebooted the project and released it on Veterans Day 2010 with six new writers and a few more from the public domain. When the Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair was blown wide open two plagiarism incidents on VampireFreaks were revealed and one about to happen when the latter plagiarist came from SomethingAwful. Some of the factions in the industry who were vocal about Boyer, turned around and enabled the Robert Baupader incidents to happen. Kealan Patrick Burke's fanbase were also caught with plagiarized work from the publisher who produced The Cabbie Homicide -- when Burke was called out; he was backpedaling.
Blogger on blogspot: Have you read about the 2010 plagiarism incident in the genre fiction community?
VampireFreaks user: No -- what incident is that.

Blogger on blogspot: A publisher who was scammed with two submissions coined this "Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair" as it went on from 2007 to 2010 as the plagiarist according to b-thoughtful pointed out every single one of the asshole's assumed named. The publisher who was scammed and later plagiarized coined "Blood in the Water" when addressing the plagiarist as it was a declaration of open season using grisly shark attack analogy for a plagiarist as it's like swimming in shark infested waters with a gaping cut in the artery. The publisher taunts him, "Plagiarize me motherfucker! Plagiarize me motherfucker, fine I am going to have a contest for your replacements. The contributors get to viscerally kill off your fucking multiple personalities you call pen names you lifted with."

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.

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?
