Dowling College 

A college residing in the beautifully rich and white town known as Oakdale, NY; with an acceptance rate of 80%. The college is known to mislead the demeanor of the town by welcoming with open arms, a large portion of the African American community into classes; African Americans that both lower the value of the college itself and bring down the property value of the town. Also, to add to a mixed company of acceptees, the quality of the education available at Dowling College is equivalent to that of the education at your more common high school locations. In a final note, as far as social activity, the Dormitories are more commonly referred to as Ghost Towns... this is due to the mutual fact that one would rather starve than indulge in the Riverside Cafe.

Dowling College is a Dry Campus.

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.
