A fetish among STEM lecturers. Found in nearly every engineering related slideshow, this works as a perfect example for resonance, amplitude, wavelength, harmonic motion, unstable process, twisting motion, finite element analysis, CFD simulation, aerodynamics, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III, miscalculation, general relativity, or the meaning of life. A link leading to a video of the wobbling Tacoma Bridge can be added to any presentation to fill out empty space. Sophisticated students may even use it as an academic source in their Master's thesis.

-Did you find any good content for our group project?
-Yeah, there's this mad video of Tacoma Narrows Bridge!

Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Similar to the sex position "The Eiffel Tower", the Tacoma Narrows Bridge is performed by having a girl on hands and knees, where sweet fellacio is happening at one end with one happy male, while the dirty plowing is occurring with man #2 in the back. However, a real Tacoma Narrows Bridge occurs when one man blows massive load early, and his body succumbs to the moment and he collapses, preferably into a river.

Hot dog! Dale and Troy hit me hard last night with a Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Troy lost control and yeeted himself into the river. We had to call the Coast Guard!

straight but not narrow

An open-minded heterosexual.

It's cool to wear pins on your bags that say "Straight but not narrow", unless you aren't straight, in which case it would be much more appropiate to sport a rainbow pin, unless you think rainbows are ugly, which they are, because all those colors don't mesh together very well.

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?
