phanwank 

An eljay community for Phantom of the Opera fans---Excuse me, PHANS. The group, which is entirely composed of women (since the majority of hetero men avoid all reference to The Phantom of the Opera like the pox), obtains great lulz by seeking out "badphic"---that is, bad Phantom fanfiction---and subsequently mocking it in their intarwebz stronghold. This process more often than not involves "wanking"---not, as one might assume, the act of spanking one's monkey; but of adding comments in bold throughout the entirity of the badphic. These additions are typically quite humorous, unless one of teh uncool fancies herself capable of satire. The ensuing results are quite often disastrous and cause the readers' roflcopter to crash. But, a roflcopter crash would be very frequently preferable to the effects of the unadulterated reading of a genuine badphic: in such situations, the brain bleach must be pulled forth and the unfortunate victim's neurological cells must be scrubbed clean. One by one. In conclusion: trust the phanwankers to do the dirty work. That's their area of expertise.

Phanwankers have a proverbial menagerie of inside jokes (it's bordering the line of a secret language) that can be quite frustrating to those who are cool enough to not know inside Phantom of the Opera jokes. I would gladly list a few notable instances here, but I don't feel like being hunted down and brutally slaughtered by a horde of teenage girls enraged by my revelations about their secret society.

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.

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.

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?
