An Ensign Ricky is a character in a movie or television show that goes into battle alongside the main characters. He is either the first person to die, or fights valliantly and is shot down in his prime. Either way, an Ensign Ricky is always killed. To point out an Ensign Ricky, usually the main character(s) will stand right next to him, and you'll be like "who the heck is that guy?" THAT guy is Ricky. This class of character first began in the hit tv series, Star Trek, where one man played the role of Ensign Ricky. There are 3 or 4 specific episodes where one can slow down the frame speed and see his face and realize that Ensign Ricky was the Kenny (from southpark) of the Star Trek "The Next Generation" series.

"Who the F*** is that guy and why is he getting all this attention over Brad Pitt. OH!!! He must be an Ensign Ricky... oh, yep, just died..."

>So essentially you're worthless, and overpaid to do nothing?

My buddy "ensigned" me by having sex with my girlfriend the other night.

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?
