Mellissa stated talking about Nepal and being Kathmandu but it was all fauxno cause I know the place having lived there for months at a time, what she described just does not exist at the time she claims. She really has no idea. I wish she would just stop fauxnoing these types of things. It comes from a fractured ego I recon.

Fauxlosophy 

The imparting of make belief wisdom, spiritual advice and meaningless waffle, usually given by vacuous self absorbed 'influencers' via a social media platform. Generally accompanied by a bikini clad pose in some exotic location and/ or a generic borderline inspirational quote, borrowed from a slightly more creative part time yoga teacher/ uber driver/ photographer/ long boarder/ spiritualist. On occasion a real quote from a real philosopher may be used but often in the incorrect context.
“Life takes you to unexpected places, love brings you home”

Thankful for every moment I get to spend home. Even the quick trips like this make my heart smile. I appreciate every little moment with my family and friends and thankful for those truck rides down old country roads, loving from my horses and many days and night on this beautiful lake. Home is good for the soul✨ "

Correct response: "Shut up Amber with your fauxlosophy, you fucking nitwit"
Incorrect response: "aww babe you are so cute" followed by countless fire emojis

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.
