A noun describing when someone who is higher than you in one area (like your boss at work) starts also acting like they're higher than you in another area (like their knowledge of cars, their ability in a particular sport, their ability to use a camera or edit photos, etc).

Typically this happens when someone higher in status (often older, male, and white) starts to lecture about topics outside their domain of expertise, just because they're used to everyone listening to them. They pontificate and lecture to you as if their opinion is somehow more valuable, but in reality it's not...

My boss pulled a Hierarchical Transfer, she started lecturing to me about the Middle East after she took a week long vacation there, ignoring the fact that I lived there for years...

Hierarchical Unified Block Language

A hierarchical unified block language (HUBL) is a modular computational Domain Specific Language (DSL) composed of nested, interoperable blocks organized in explicit hierarchical layers, designed to self-modify its internal structures and self-replicate functional blocks in response to contextual rules, data inputs, or system objectives.

Each block encapsulates logic, data, and behavior, while higher-level blocks govern orchestration, validation, and propagation across the system. The language emphasizes adaptability, recursion, and autonomous evaluation, allowing the system to refine, duplicate, or recompose itself without external recombination.

The engineering team at Helping Unite Businesses, LLC led by David Hubbell and Edan Harr deployed a hierarchical unified block language to allow the platform to adapt in real time, with self-modifying blocks optimizing workflows while self-replicating components scaled automatically as demand increased.

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?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
