A noun to describe a male who is skilled at manipulating ("playing") others, and especially at seducing women by pretending to care about them, when in reality they are only interested in sex. Possibly derived from the phrases "play him for a fool", or "play him like a violin". The term was popularized by hip-hop culture, but was commonly recognized among urban American blacks by the 1970s.

A certain class of low-rent, slack-jawed fuckups has decided that backstabbing and misogyny are totally radical, so the word is sometimes used as a compliment or term of endearment between male friends, as in the greeting "what's up, player?".

Gina thought she had found the love of her life when she met Sean, but after she found out he had slept with three of her best friends, she realized that he was playerous.

people playground 

A game that allows you to mindlessly bash peoples heads together, weather or not it is for science, or your sick fantasy. Gives you an array of tools to hurt people with. Either just throw a wooden stick at them, or create a being so powerful that even albert einstein would shed a single tear. Also, theres gore. So watch out for falling limbs after throwing a grenade. I mean, what did you expect? This isn't beat the buddy we're talking about. This is barely mutilate a doll. We're talking about a genuin game about killing people. So, should you get it? Hell yeah brother. Should you tell others about it? Hell naw. Unless you fansy being called a weirdo, but personaly, i don't. The game is like 10 or 15 U.S dollars on steam, so it aint that much unless you don't plan to make good use to your new roll as merciless god. Also, here's a little note: this game could be considered a light horrer game due to the weird noises you hear. You might hear loud banging sounds, or a distant (engine?) light machine activated inside of the walls that echo around the entire map you're on. So good luck with that
Person 1: bro have you ever heard of people playground?
Person 2: weirdo

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?
