Noun: The upset stomach you may experience when about to see someone that you are twitterpated with (see twitterpated definition if you have not experienced this first-hand). Similar to butterflies, but much more intense and uncomfortable. Usually occurs about 30-60 minutes prior to the date, and diminishes about 30 minutes into the date, if it is going well.

Example of usage: I wish they would sell something over the counter to take for twitterflies, because they are a nuisance and I experience them everytime I am going to see Harold.

Twitterlight Zone

When a show (such as an awards show) comes on in one timezone and you are forced to relive it over and over in your Twitter timeline until it comes on in your own timezone in which case you barely even want to watch it because you already know how it ends, yet you do watch it only to give your own snarky commentary.

At the MTV Music Awards, when Taylor Swift was interrupted by Kanye West, the Twitter universe lit up. People in the West Coast with East Coast People in their timelines were forced to see rolling tweets about what happened in their timeline for 3 hours prior to actually viewing the awards show.

@Blahchick80: "Oh hell naw, I can't believe Kanye did that sh*t to Taylor Swift!!"
@Teddybearcutie:"What did he do?"
@Blahchick80:"Ain't you watching the MTV awards?"
@Teddybearcutie:"Hell, naw, it's only 8pm here"
@Redgurl85:"If I was Taylor, I woulda kicked his ass!"
@Teddybearcutie "I gotta log off, this is the Twitterlight Zone..."

2 hours later....

@Teddybearcutie:"That Kanye is a real bastard, I would have punched him in the face if he did that to me"
@Redgurl85:"What, you're just now watching that? I swear, you West Coast people are so slooooww."
@Teddybearcutie: "STFU before I punch you in the 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?
