Pronounced Ee-zaigh-ism, Isaism is similar to worshipping the devil. To be an Isaist means to be a capitalist, traitor and a threat to the Communist State. It was propagated by Raspudas, who from time to time has plagued various individuals and has caused them to do evil.
Do not fall to the depths of Isaism. Rasputin and Judas became history's most infamous isaists after Raspudas corrupted them.

n. The condition which stems from the attribution of an "-ism" to every concept.

Ismism is commonly seen in academia, where terms such as realism, impressionism, romanticism, formalism, libertarianism, anarchism, naturalism, modernism, postmodernism, etc. are incessantly created and applied to every new situation.

Ismists are too focused on labeling everything to appreciate anything.

Etymology: English suffix -ism, referring to the doctrine or common set of characteristics associated with the root, applied to itself.
Our professor wouldn't stop talking about the vague distinction between realism and naturalism. She must be an ismist.

Academia today is rampant with ismism, with too many isms to count.

/'istist/ noun, pl. "istists"

A person, who labels people by using one or more words which end with "-ist", e.g. racist, sexist, misogynist, feminist etc. This word describes people most commonly related ideologically to the modern Social Justice Theory, i.e. SJW, but not necessarily. The one thing that describes the istist is the high rate of using the aforementioned "-ist" words, often without comprehending their meaning and, also, their impact upon the target. They sometimes even tend to create new words, in order to find new ways to be offended.
Example: Female SJW Vs. a random man:
SJW: I am a sworn feminist and I believe all men must be killed slowly and violently for being patriarchist scum!
Man: Feminism promotes equality between men and women, not violence and oppression towards men!
SJW: How dare you correct me? You think you are better than me, don't you? You sexist, misogynist pig!
Man: Hey, I have a wife, a daughter and a sister, you idiot! Do some research before using such a dark language!
SJW: Dark language? Oh, so you hate black people, too? You racist piece of s**t!
Man: OK, I've had enough. You know what you are? A goddamn istist. A person who uses all these words without even knowing what they really mean.
*SJW tries to punch Man in the face, Man blocks her*
SJW: Rape! Rape! This rapist tried to assault me!

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.
