When taking the ball out the defender can say, "check" (throw me the ball, and I'll give it back... typically to make sure everyone on defense is ready)... If the offense (guy taking the ball out) says, "three feet, no check" before the defender says, "check", the defender don't get to check the ball and he/she needs to back up at least three feet.

Jon took the ball out of bounds and yelled, "three feet no check!".

three feet no check

This term is used a lot when playing street basketball to imply that you shouldn't get to close to the person you are trying to block. Me and my friends say it when someone you're talking to gets to close to you or is invading your personal space.

A girl is at a bar and a guy walks over to her to make a conversation by getting really close to her face with his face and his breathe really stinks.

Guy:"Hhhhhey beautiful. Hhhhhhhow are you tonight?"
Girl: "Hey man! Three feet no check!" (As she puts her hand out and pushes him out of her face)

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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?
