Compulsion to download apps for things we can do ourselves or live without entirely. (Origin: Tom Bodett, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me radio show, Feb 13, 2010)

Sufferers of Appsberger's syndrome are inclined to download and install compulsive amounts of applications and information to accomplish tasks they can already do themselves or live without entirely. "He uses his GPS to drive home to a house he's lived in for 12 years."

AppStoreBore

A friend, colleague or family member who goes on and on about the iPhone Applications and AppStore.

Don't get me wrong I love the iPhone and the Appstore as much as the next man, however, I met an old school mate in the pub the other day. We had loads to catch up with but just as we sat down he whipped out his iPhone and showed me his 325 applications. Turned out he'd become an AppstoreBore.

appsturbate

to simulate the use of smartphone/i-phone apps for another, in an attempt to show them how necessary/cool it is to have or need to have them.

an explanation of the app's assets by partial demo of said app.
unlike masturbation, appsturbation requires another person as voyeur, if you will, to watch the appsturbator show his/her strokes.

people gathered 'round, as mikey stroked his iphone screen, showing off his latest app. he just needed to appsturbate, then and there. sure it wasn't as good as the full-on, program he used on his home computer, but it would do for now.

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?
