A rare breed of roller pigeon, most likely resulting from a deliberate cross of the Galatz Roller and Berlin Long Faced Tumpler by San Francisco area fanciers. With dramatic dark black plumage and elongated features, it is easy to differentiate from other common urban doves. Both males and females develop vivid reddish-orange rictal bristles when fully mature. The shade of orange is often compared to the international orange of San Francisco's famous Golden Gate Bridge.

A pair of Storm Crows, long-shanked and imperturbable, parted the roiling mass of doves on the street below, like a hot blade through crème fraîche

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?
