The state of being extremely skinny to the point of being nearly anorexic when pregnant.

This trend became popular after startling images of Nicole Kidman and Nicole Richie surfaced, as they both looked as if they gained only the weight of their babies...

But in their desire to remain on the fashion radar, pregorexics risk their health and that of their unborn child.

It's a phenomenon that's being fuelled by the growth in designer pregnancy wear.

This "state of being" has a name that belongs to one of many buzzwords that make a serious deadly illness sound totally trendy

Milla: Did you see those pictures of angelina holding those babies?
Christina: I did! Does she EVER eat?
Milla: probably not, she has been diagnosed with pregorexia
Christina: I bet you're jealous...

Pregorexia

women who get so obsessed with keeping their weight in check while pregnant that they go overboard on dieting and exercise and put their baby's health at some risk.

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.

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?
