Remain in Light

Talking Heads' most seminal release. Released in 1980, this album draws influence from Nigerian musician Fela Kuti and sees the band members experimenting with African polyrhythms, funk, and electronics. They recorded instrumental tracks as a series of looping grooves, which had never been done before.

Remain in Light was critically acclaimed. Critics praised its sonic experimentation, blending of different genres, and rhythmic innovations. The album peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard 200 and 21 on the UK album charts. The album spawned the single Once in a Lifetime, one of Talking Heads' most famous songs.

The position will remain open until it is filled 

Once you have had a successful job interview with a university (or other state agency) and all of your references have been contacted, if you don't get a response about the job, the usual protocol is to phone and find out what's going on. When you hear "The position will remain open until it is filled," it means that there is a hiring freeze that no one is talking about.
"You gave a wonderful interview, and we could really see you teaching with us here at (insert university name here). Though you and the other professor were in fact short-listed for the only two positions you both interviewed for (meaning, one position was going to you and the other, to her), 'the position will remain open until it is filled.'" Translation: "We don't have any money or budget to hire ANYONE but we must keep up the pretense that there is work available, or else our potential student population will decrease as a result of a lack-of-confidence in our ability to attack quality instructors. In fact, our mandate is to weed-out tenure-track professors and replace their $100,000 positions with 3 Master's-level students who we plan to pay less than $33,000 to, each. But please keep calling so we can tell you that the position will remain open until it is filled. Have a nice day."

I Remain Inadequate

it's when like uhhhh... Inadequacy and you feel Inadequate and wanna be better or something I think
Reputations are ruined
And legacies are shattered
Our hopes and dreams are shafted
As if nothing really matters

It’s time you recognize
There’s nothing left in our worthless lives
Nothing left to miss
So I say algebra class is DISMISSED!

Are you able to see it?
I remain inadequate

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.

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?
