A movement to reduce the funding of charitable organizations, using means such as legislative measures or philosophical arguments to discourage private charitable donations.

The term is modeled after the concept of "War on X" popularized by several former U.S. presidents, including Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" and George Bush's "War on Terror".

"The plan to cut allowable tax deductions for charitable donations makes it appear the government has launched a War on Charity."

"That article about the selfish motives of giving are part of that magazine's War on Charity."

Chatty Patty

someone who's constantly speaking about other people's business; regardless of if they know these people, or have any factual evidence of the claims they make. More than likely it will be a negative view point, as most Chatty Patty's relish at the chance to speak badly of others. This gossipy behavior is most intolerable when it is men speaking about other men, being that the original "Chatty Patty" doll which the reference derives from, was a doll meant to be played with by little girls.

John: I heard "so and so's" car is leased, he probably really isn't getting money like that, and his girlfriend use to text me too!

Billy: Bro, why would I want to know that? Stop being a Chatty Patty...

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.

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?
