a breed of hipster that rides a fixed gear bike, usually without a brake. They often have bike or bike part tattoos and sport Chrome messenger bags and carry their keys for their house and bike lock on a carabiner. They sometimes wear little cycling caps. Legit bike hipsters work as bike messengers. To spot a fixter's bike, look for cards in the spokes of their usually colorful wheelset from alleycat races and look for color coordination. Fixters like to drink PBR and "classy" bottled beer and often smoke cigarettes. They often neglect to shower and enjoy growing wicked mustaches.
Fixter 1: You going to the alleycat this weekend? I hear cog magazine is sponsoring. Going to be pretty huge.

Fixter 2: Dude I'm stoked. Going to break out the new bike flask of whiskey.

casual filter

A part or stage in a game that escalates in difficulty in a very short period of time, separating the casuals from the actual gamers.

Not to be confused with a steep/vertical learning curve, as these mean that the game is hard to learn and master from the beginning.

Games with a casual filter will give you a false feeling of confidence as the filter comes after you have learned the basics and started progressing, just to catch you off guard and make your run end, usually having to start from zero again.

Some examples of casual filters in games include the winter in Project Zomboid and your first goblin raid in Dwarf Fortress
Person 1: Ayo wtf is this I just lost my 30h run, how do you even survive the winter?
Person 2: Welcome to the casual filter, play more and git gud

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.
