Fiska fjärilar i regn 

This proverb describes the attempt to pursue something delicate, fragile, or elusive in conditions that are completely inappropriate or counterproductive. Much like the absurdity of trying to catch butterflies—a task that requires patience and gentleness—while it’s raining heavily, the expression highlights the futility of trying to achieve a goal when the surrounding environment or circumstances are utterly unfavorable. It suggests that timing and conditions are crucial for success, and without the right setting, even the most well-intentioned efforts are doomed to fail or become frustratingly difficult.The saying directly translated basically means "Fishing for butterflies in the rain".-Ulf Skönberg och kamraterna podden
Context: Two friends, Tom and Lisa, are discussing Lisa's attempt to organize an outdoor event despite bad weather.

Tom: "How’s the event planning going?"

Lisa: sighs "Not great. I’ve been trying to set up this outdoor picnic for weeks, but the forecast keeps showing rain."

Tom: "Sounds like you’re fishing for butterflies in the rain."

Lisa: "I know, right? Every time I think things are coming together, the weather ruins it."

Tom: "Maybe it's time to consider an indoor backup plan. No point chasing butterflies in a storm."

Lisa: "Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just not going to happen the way I imagined."

Sammanhang: Två vänner, Tom och Lisa, diskuterar Lisas försök att organisera ett utomhusevenemang trots dåligt väder.

Tom: "Hur går evenemangsplaneringen?"

Lisa: suckar "Inte bra. Jag har försökt ordna den här utomhuspicknicken i flera veckor, men prognosen fortsätter att visa regn."

Tom: "Det låter som att "fiska fjärilar i regn."

Lisa: "Jag vet, eller hur? Varje gång jag tror att saker går ihop, förstör vädret det."

Tom: "Det kanske är dags att överväga en backupplan inomhus. Ingen idé att jaga fjärilar i en storm."

Lisa: "Ja, jag antar att du har rätt. Det kommer bara inte att bli som jag föreställt mig."

Terror rains drenchin', quenchin the thrist of power dons.

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.
