Shawinigan Handshake is the epithet given to a chokehold executed on February 15, 1996 by Jean Chrétien, then Prime Minister of Canada, on anti-poverty protester Bill Clennett. The phrase comes from Chrétien's birthplace of Shawinigan, Quebec, as the former prime minister often styled himself the "little guy from Shawinigan".

"Yesterday I won the fucking lottery so I shat on my bosses desk then gave him the Shawinigan Handshake."

"Margret is soooooo annoying during meetings. Sometimes I just want to give her the ole' Shawinigan Handshake."

sharwini

Someone you’d fall in love with through laughter. Sharwini is the type of girl that you can talk to all day and about anything. Someone that will become your best friend quickly. She’ll joke with you and you’ll joke back but always know that’s all they are, jokes. She’s very fierce and has a big heart. Just being around her makes you happy and she’s really someone you know you could spend your life with.

Sharwini is very beautiful

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?
