Originally the name comes from a myth from the Muisca peoples during the early 1500's in the Andes (what is now Colombia). The myth tells of the legend of the Golden Man, or El Dorado. This came to be known as an actual place, an empire, where this golden king lived. There were many treacherous expeditions undertaken during the 1500's in order to find this place, true Indiana Jones styles (Sir Walter Raleigh tried to find it too).

We toiled and sweated through the thick Amazonian underbrush, air thick with humidity, all to find el Dorado.

El Dorado Hills

Let's start this. El Dorado Hills has grown from a small town into a 50,000+ people in it. Today it does not only has the market deli, but safeway, heaven, the movie theater, and many other places were these rich people go to play.

There's also the over crowed highschool (Oak Ridge aka Coke Ridge) full of drama queens, track stars, white people pretending to be ghetto, cheerleaders, and a bunch of white sterotypes. This high school surprisingly is one of the best in California. The campus has a bunch of small buildings where students go to class. During lunch they hang at the quad, courts, lunchroom, or stoner tree etc...

This town has many hidden secrets to it and you will only figure them out once you have lived there. It was once a great place to have a family but now promotes sheltering children and these kids go wild once they grow up.

El Dorado Hills is great to hate but even better to love.

Person: Dude some kid last year though some x down the toilet at Marina

Person: We went to heaven the other day and it was bomb!

Person: I love going to the movies and just spending the entire day and sneaking into movies.

Person: Taco Bells five layer Burritos are legit!

Person: I hate tubers on folsom lake.

Person: My parents just bought me a brand new ferrari!

Person: The water balloon fight of 08'-09' was awesome!

Person: Did he really just streak through campus?

el dorado hills

1996: A quaint suburb of Sacramento, charactarized by its rolling hills and rural surroundings. It is a place affordable to middle class families looking for an alternative to bustling city life. High performing schools, low crime, and scenic views are all hallmarks of this charming community.

2006: An overdeveloped yuppie infested retreat for Bay Area transplants who cashed in on their 3 bed 2 bath San Jose shanty for a mass produced, Italianate themed McMansion terraced upon a formerly rolling hillside.

Not everyone is awful in EDH, because there are actually a lot of decent people and families which don't exhibit pretentious attitudes. But the snobs you see eating at Masque thinking they are the damn Rockefellers need to down a couple bottles of sauvignon and loosen up.

El Dorado Hills started out as a relatively affordable family friendly community and has evolved into an enclave for the nouveau riche with an affintity for the newest, largest faux chateau which they live in, but can't really afford.

Bob: "My adjustable rate morgage keeps rising, and I can't afford it because I just leased a new S500!"
Mike: "Why don't you just drive something more affordable?"
Bob: "Are you crazy? I have to show the guys at work my new ride"
Mike:" But didn't Intel just announce they're slashing 7,000 jobs?"
Bob: "What!?!? I'm fucked!"

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?
