A private school in Illinois that really should be in Evanston but is in Wilmette. Most people think it's a snotty school because of the money, but it's actually full of (somewhat) nice people, despite the incredibly tiny population. A great elementary program, by the time you're in middle school you're ready to get the hell out and move on to a public high school - but you had a lot of fun in middle school despite it being...well, middle school. Overall, a really solid school.

Aw, my bad, man. Baker Demonstration School's boss.

Demonstration of Self-Ownership

Ok. So, let's say I don't own myself: Bring me your kid and a loaded gun... And then tell me not to shoot it in the head. If you truly own me I won't be able to pull the trigger....

Hym "Otherwise, that works as a demonstration of self-ownership."

demonstration

A term that lumps "political demonstration" (protest) and "showing something new that the audiences have never seen before" together within this same term. It reflects both the act of showing dissent and the act of showcasing innovations or ideas to an audience.

The tech fair was a demonstration of groundbreaking inventions, but the protests outside turned it into a political demonstration about corporate ethics.

Law of Demonstration

The law of demonstration is a subset of Murphy’s law and works in two ways. A functioning process will not work when demonstrated, but a broken process will work perfectly. E.g. when trying to show IT an issue your computer is having, the issue will not occur.

“I was walking a colleague through a new process I created yesterday, but it just wouldn’t work. When I ran it by myself later, it was just fine!”
“Ah, you ran into the law of demonstration states”

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
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.

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?
