Humboldtian

A person from or residing in Humboldt County, CA and living the North Coast hippie lifestyle. Humboldtians are calm, nurturing people who are somewhat oblivious to the outside world and are all about supporting their local community. A Humboldtian is typically white, works on a local farm or buys veggies from the farmers market, and dresses like they shop in a thrift store of clothes from the 1990's. Humboldtian students are passionate about biology, natural resources, and art and value weirdness and uniqueness above all else. Humboldtians care so much about the environment that they get upset when the temperature is above 70 degrees because "it's not good for the area."

"She makes her own soap, raises goats, volunteers at the farm, and she never gets angry...she's a true Humboldtian."

"I met a cute Humboldtian at the barn dance - he's in a bluegrass band."

"Did you see all the Humboldtians playing bongo drums during the kinetic sculpture race?"

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.

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?
