With all the mailstroms that have been talked about in the news lately, I'm almost afraid to mail a letter, for fear that there will be some stupid-a** delay or "returned to sender" screw-up with my envelope's delivery!

Usually circular, it can also be dangerous. If you get too close, you may be grabbed and sucked into the center. Sticks and other rock hard debris may penetrate your hull. Malestroms may also involve large amounts of fast-moving liquid.

Mainstremo 

A current scene in rock music that contains numerous bands who identify themselves or are labelled as emo, but share none of the stylistic traits of foundational emo bands such as Fugazi, Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, or Texas is the Reason. This style began in the D.C. Hardcore scene during the Revolution Summer of 1985. Earlier bands often sounded akin to hardcore punk, but utilizing more dissonance and more varied time signatures. Nineties bands were often softer and focused on intricate guitar work and melodies.

Such bands may include Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy, Something Corporate, As I Lay Dying, and Panic! At the Disco, among others. Most of these bands fit more comfortably into the post-hardcore, alternative rock, or modern rock categories. These bands are known for a generic sound, whiny and/or nasally vocals, and for overtly depressing and sad lyrics. Most of the bands adhere to the stereotypes of the emo fashion, but some, like My Chemical Romance, have adopted their own identifiable look. Their guitar work usually consists of power chords, tuned to Drop-D with heavy distortion, not unlike nu-metal. Some of the more musically technical bands likely fit better into the fashioncore, metalcore, or post-hardcore scenes.
Taking Back Sunday is Mainstremo. Fugazi is emotional/emotive hardcore, the true meaning of emo.

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?
