hansplaining 

Stating inaccurate facts about China. Conveniently repeating Chinese Communist Party propaganda worldview. They can be often located in their ideological bubble on Weibo (Twitter copy) or other CCP run social media pages, in rare cases you can meet them in the wild in Mass Media comment sections as well as Facebook and Twitter comments.
Their meeting and support group has its western HQ on r/Sino where they're sharing the newest fake news, CCP propaganda and secretly plotting on how to take over the world, just to miserably fail every time like Pinky and the Brain.
Any rational person: "China is running concentration camps and they're rounding up millions of Uighur's, it's coming close to a genocide"

Lin starting his hansplaining: "no ,no . is no like it, you just don't understand Chainer, is vocational camps with Chinese characteristics" and continues to hansplain how forcing Muslims to burn their holy books, drinking alcohol and eating pork is a good thing to fight alleged terror.

Hatesplaining 

when someone from an elite victimized class explains to a member of a majority group how racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-phobic etc they are without any evidence of matching behavior or thought patterns to support their case. They often surround their accusation of bigotry with "weasle-words" like "subconscious", "passive" or "benevolent" to soften the blow of their "guilty-until-proven-innocent" stance. Disagreeing with a Hatesplainer is considered by them to be morally unacceptable, as they are generally incapable of tolerating any "diversity of thought".
These LGBTQIA+* people in some chat room are hatesplaining to me how racist, judgemental and hateful I am. I'm not oppressing anyone! They don't even know me! In their delusional world all white men are evil. Whatever happened to being judged by the content of your character?

Bandsplaining 

When someone goes above and beyond to illustrate they know more about a band than someone who has expressed interest in that band, especially with a condescending tone or attitude .
"I see you have a Motorhead shirt on. I bet you cant name 3 songs off the Inferno album . See, most people only know Ace of Spades, but....."

(This person was bandsplaining to someone else )

Second definition: when you ask a band what kind of music they play and they go on for 10 minutes, listing obscure bands and saying how you'll never really understand it until you listen to their album.

E.g- Chad: what kind of music does your band play?

Tim: we're like a mixture of punk and country, with a little jazz/reggae. We have some tones of Johnny Cash from '72-73, plus some hints of Zanphire. But like his B-side stuff, not his popular/mainstream stuff. But that doesnt really explain it all the way.

Tim is bandsplaining. Second definition submitted by Chris Jacobs

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

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?
