In some Asian-speaking lands (using this mispronounced version of "Black Obama"), it was believed that this is how Americans addressed Barack Obama.

In part, the confusion stemmed from the similarity of the "L" and "R" sounds within their spoken languages and the fact that the skin-color-obsessed USA focused so much attention on their first "black" president.

"So his name is not Balack Obama (aka Black Obama). It's Barack Obama!"

"Ah! So what's the diffelence?"

Obama-ing

Saying something in public detrimental to someone else without realising or considering the detrimental effects to yourself and your own interests. As an example President Barack Obama stated that the USA would be in no hurry to secure a trade deal with a United Kingdom outside of the EU. This crude attempt at blackmail failed to take into account the fact that the UK imports as much from the USA as it exports, so American manufacturers would suffer. Not only that, no trade deal means no Scotch Whisky, no Rolls-Royce cars but it goes much further than that. The next time the USA makes a mess of its foreign policy and wants British troops to come and do some of the dying for them, guess what the answer’s going to be. Basically Obama-ing is just another way of saying talking shit.

“With his bullshit about no trade deal with the UK Obama is just Obama-ing.”
“Oh, you mean talking through his arse.”

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?
