Derived from an experiment (carried out in Switzerland, aka Helvetica) where the nucleus of a calcium molecule in skin was removed, leaving a temporarily stable electron/proton shell, causing a mutation that made the skin grow over all the openings in the skin. The helvetica scenario is a nightmare scenario that occurrs when this technique of removing the calcium nucleus- called quantum superpositioning- is used irresponsibly to harm people.

Political advisors feared that the country would resort to biological weapons, causing something like the helvetica scenario to happen.

Helvetica

A popular modernist typeface that's used just about everywhere, such as in corporate logos, signs, posters, operating systems, advertisments, and et cetera. Odds are you've seen it more than enough times in your life to memorize the distinct shape of each letter.

Graphic designers love and loathe Helvetica for its modernist appearance and practicality, and its adaption for any practical purpose.

I watched that Helvetica documentary last night, and I fell asleep at the 20 minute mark. Pretentious documentary is pretentious.

Helvetifag

Someone (girl or boy), usually in the Print world, who is absolutely obsessed with Typography. Helvetica and probably only 5 other fonts are this persons LIFE. Definately owns the movie "Helvetica" and has watched it over and over again. Definately walks around with "clever" t-shirts with inside font jokes. This person can just look at a font and tell you it's exact name, how many times it's been over-used and how bad of a person you are for even considering it.

Oh, my god. When will this kid just shut up.. He's constantly yappin about this ad and that ad and how bad the type is in. What a fuckin Helvetifag.

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?
