A word coined by author and poet John Koenig,

A sense of paradoxical relief when something bad happens to you, confirming the intrusive thoughts about who you are, and what you deserve for not being as good of a person as people think you are.

I felt a sense of leidenfreude when my partner broke up with me.

Leiden

A girl who is strong and can handle anything life throws at her. There are very few things a Leiden can't handle. She knows what she believes and is not afraid to voice her opinions. A Leiden can be harsh at times but is extremely loyal to those around her. Leidens are rare but are worth the wait.

Leiden is kind but very truthful, take what she says with a grain of sand.

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?
