The typing of text (SMS) messages, esp. on a standard numerical keypad, using only the index finger of one hand. Is a relatively slow method for typing text messages and almost always requires that the cell phone be held in the opposite hand. Common among older cell phone users and possibly a cellular offshoot of the "Hunt-and-Peck" typing method.

Riding with my dad is scary enough, it's even worse when he starts indexting.

awkwardly endearing

A description accorded to people whose behaviour is by normal standards considered weird or unusual, but is nevertheless deemed to be rather cute. The etymology of this word derives from encounters between one biracial bombshell and one tall, lanky American, the latter for which the term awkwardly endearing was coined for.

When a boy offers to buy a girl a cup of coffee out of gratitude for her having sent him notes. Although sweet the offer, in saying, "so you can snuggle up a little longer in bed in the morning", it is more than a tad bit weird. In other words, it is awkwardly endearing.

awkwardly endearing

What one becomes after having a crush on an awkwardly endearing individual. Like an STI the curse of being awkwardly endearing can be passed on through even minor contact.

When that individual who at one time attained the ‘biracial bombshell’ status loses her ability to engage in regular social encounters without saying something odd. Examples include multiple references to: Manchester City, graphic novels, the library, War and Peace, and timbits. This awkwardly endearing master status cannot be used to account for the recent Distal Radius fracture suffered by this individual. Any such bone-breaking must be attributed to a previously existing clumsiness condition.

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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?
