it stings in the shower

“It stings in the shower” refers to mental health and thoughts that you may have pushed away become more vivid in the shower, and clearer to remember. It also referrers to the fact that depression can be stronger in the shower, and that self-harm provoking words will “sting”.

Another interpretation is that if you have recently self-harmed (cut yourself) the shower water may sting it. That is also what it could mean.

Teacher: “Lola, are you alright.. You seem down lately”

Lola: “It stings in the shower”

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?
