The act of deleting friends on Facebook whom you haven't talked to in a long time and/or don't plan on talking to again. Sometimes done to escape bad memories of a person or past.

I've gotta do some serious friend thinning... I've got 2000 friends on Facebook and I haven't talked to most of 'em since high school.

Oreo thinning

When someone makes something worse for you and pitches it as if it works to your advantage, like how Oreo charges more money for Oreo thins even though you literally pay more money for less cookie.

Chad: Hey man, look at this new job posting! They're making me design a webpage AND write the code for it, it's like two jobs in one!

Kyle: Nah man, they're just cutting corners and being cheap about it. That's a job meant for two people, they're totally oreo thinning you.

Swishful Thinking

When all you can think of is making 3 pointers, or making a basket that is a swish. This is common for poor shooters, who dream of swishes all day, and then celebrate when they finally make one, after multiple misses. This is called Swishful Thinking, as they continue to shoot and shoot, knowing they will finally make one.

Damn, did you see Keith hit that huge 3 after he missed like 6 shots in a row. Yeah dude, he is the king of Swishful Thinking.

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?
