An irrational negative response to transgender and intersex people, as well as other forms of gender-bending and gender non-conformity. Extreme cases may involve the belief that people with the above conditions are less than human. Often carries that assumption that gender is a natural, rather than learned, condition, and that biological sex is a discrete, immutable trait rather than a collection of characteristics. Related to homophobia.

A trans lady was attacked by a dude with an intense case of transphobia, who claimed that she was really a man and should have expected to be attacked since 'he' was wearing a dress. The newspaper that reported the attack was also transphobic, as they described the lady using her birth name and male pronouns, even though her name and sex have both been legally changed.
The transphobia permeating the media is a contributing factor to the 47% suicide rate among transgender youth.

transphobia

Discrimination against transgender people. This includes using derogatory slurs against transgender people, invalidating nonbinary people, intentionally misgendering someone (not using their preferred pronouns) or intentionally using their birth name if they have another preferred name. NOT the fear of transgender people.

Cisgender person: Uh yeah so I don't have anything against tr@nnnies or anything but like you have a d!ck, so you're a boy, so I'm gonna call you he
Transgender person: Uhhh that's kind of transphobic
Cisgender person: Uh no?? I said I wasn't transphobic. I know what transphobia is, it's the fear of trans people, and I'm not afraid of trans people, so??? Wow. Really rude. Like no wonder no one likes tr@nnies. You're really cisphobic

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?
