Coming from the prefix "trans-" (meaning "beyond") and "formative years", this slang term refers to the years after your formative years has ended. For example, if you were born in 1974 and thus grew up in the 1980's, your first memory during transformative years was probably that one moment in high school on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991.

If you were born in 1974, your first impactful memory during those transformative years might just be that unforgettable moment in high school on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991.

digital transformation

A term passed off as thought leadership by bottom rung B2B software executives in order to sell vaporware to gullible buyers. It is often used alongside other overused or outdated buzz terms like cloud, IoT, smart sensors, 3D printing, AI, machine learning, big data, and mobile. It helps disguise the fact that the company doesn’t know or care about what its customers need, and are incapable of developing offerings that are new, innovative, differentiated, or even of minimal value.

We understand the market pressures you’re facing and that’s why we’re re-imagining the solutions you’re going to need to fuel your next stage of growth, and are committed to partnering with you along your journey and delivering best-in-class solutions that support your digital transformation strategy across the value chain.

digital transformation

A word used by sales people with limited knowledge of technology to define the movement from an older type of technology to something newer, sparkly and expensive but not necessarily better.

Do you want help with digital transformation of your current set-up to the cloud, all it takes is money, poor project management, staff re-training and if you are lucky, you might have something that is less secure, a pain to administer and at best as awful as what you had before but on someone else's computer

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?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
