Sirenology is the study of the nature, origin, and cultural impact of the species mermaid. In the 20th century this area of study became broadened to include human women considered to be a temptress or seductress especially celebrities such as Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. Contemporary music videos such as those of Lady Gaga and Rihanna continue the long association between music and the siren in mythology and human culture. In the 19th century Sirenology also was used as a term in the study of the aquatic mammals manatee and dugong which became involved in Mermaid theory.

The study of the religious significance of Lasyrenn in Haitian Vodou is considered to be one example of Sirenology.

midday soiree

Pretentious, translation-challenged oxymoron that mistakes the meaning of the French word "soirée" to be "party" instead of "evening." Refers to a meetup of haughty people probably in a yatch eating cucumber sandwiches and wearing breeches.

We look forward to a midday soiree of great company, intriguing conversation, tasty cocktails, and assorted entertainment at The Manor.

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?
