Turnism is an illness that effects about one in twenty thousand people. A Turnism sufferer has to face the other way when they are feeling awkward or anxious. Turnism sufferers find it very difficult to meet new people or date, as they often turn their back on the other person within seconds of the first meeting. Turnism sufferers cannot look themselves in the eye, and are very uncomfortable around mirrors. Turnism sufferers, like to eat alone, and will take food to a private place, like a toilet cubicle or broom cupboard. Acute symptoms of Turnism, will lead sufferers to turn their IDs back to front in their wallet and even request to face downwards in their coffin upon their death; which typically occurs through a road traffic accident.
"John, what is wrong with your friend; why is he facing the other way?"
"Don't worry Bill, Peter sufferers from Turnism!"

turbosmurfing 

when someone is playing a game or sport exceptionally well; a player who appears to be a level above everyone else around is turbosmurfing.

In video games, someone who is beating everyone else badly can be considered smurfing. Smurfing is when a higher skill player uses an alternate, fresh account and gets paired with lower skill players, so they end up beating everyone else badly. Turbosmurfing is the next level of smurfing.

turboisland 

A small littered patch of urine-stained grass outside an off-licence, often frequented by screeching drunkards with varying mental disorders, including paranoid schizophrenia, morbid obesity and varying obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Turboislanders can be seen in many UK towns, where society's more vulnerable old people congregate to abuse passers-by and each other whilst holding carrier bags filled with super-strength lager.

Whilst often sad to observe, their hysterical antics are rarely threatening and mostly rather humourous given that they are so few in number and so mentally imbalanced.

Also known as "schizoisland"
"I'd sooner take the car than walk to the shops, I fear those poor old folk will be occupying turboisland on such a fine evening, and I would rather not be subjected to a spit-fleckled rant about lumpen proles and pub deejays"

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.
