guess I’m just not all that sensible. Then one day I strike up a conversation with a lovely young woman named Angelica at a party who didn’t know what my movie was called, but she knew where I could find it for sure For sure?

strike up

Tagging, in a graffiti sense. Oftentimes "striking up" is terminology used by gang members when they go around their hood and rep their gangs through graffiti, but can also be used when referring to regular tagging.

-Yo, bro, ima go strike up a bit, get myself up there. You in?
-Lil homie, now that you down with the set, time to teach you how to strike up

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?
