Short for Mental Breakdown.
Not to be confused with Membre (French for Member, Part or Division).

Menbre first emerged in Japanese youth language in the late 90s to earthy 2000s.

In Summer 2018 it experienced a sudden resurgence and made its way onto the English Internet, where it's commonly typed '#menbre' due to being popularized on Twitter.

The two most common use cases for #menbre are
1) Politely understating a major emotional crisis
2) Self-deprication or self-irony in describing a minor upset as a veritable meltdown

Determining which case applies is - as usual - primarily reliant on context clues, with instances without the #hash being likelier to be the former.
"I can't deal with this; I'm having a frikken' #menbre over here".

"Cramming for finals has given me a #menbre".

"I got a menbre after my sister returned the car covered in scratches".

"Sounds like you're having a menbre. You might want to get some fresh air".

"The final chapter of The Dark Tower gave me a complete #menbre".

Stacey: "God Ashley, did you hear Mark during the conference, today?"

Ashley: "I know, manspreading and mansplaining is one thing, but manbreathing, Ugh! That's the worst offense men can commit! Did you know, the American Association of Uncited Statistics claims that men breathe seventy-five times the amount of air women do in a whole day?"

Stacey: "Yeah, I confronted my husband about it yesterday, asking him to stop breathing for a while to give women more air to breathe. But then, he's all like 'OH, WAAAAHHHH, I CAN'T DO THAT, I'LL DIE! WAHHHH MY WIDDWE WUNGS CAN'T GO A FEW DAYS WITHOUT THE PWECIOUS AAAAAIIIIIWWWWW! WAH!' can you believe that?"

Ashley: "That's what happens when you grow up privilleged; equality will look like oppression to you."

Manbreathing 

Manbreathing is when a man intentionally breathes obnoxiously loud, as a way to dominate the air and intimidate women into being silent. Manbreathing can be intensified if the man has just done something strenuous, so not only is he intimidating a women into silence he is also proclaiming himself to be physically stronger and is now physically intimidating the poor defenceless woman into obedience.

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?
