Ultra-effective chess tactic whereby a diagonal piece (i.e. a bishop or a queen) attacks 4 opponent pieces at the same time, so that the attacked pieces form an X-shape between each other, thus (according to legendary chess grandmaster xQc) resembling a wooden shield. The best move in response to the wooden shield tactic is considered to be resignation, as computers are yet to find a position where any response to the tactic doesn't lose on the spot. The tactic is considered to be incomprehensible to inexperienced players and even grandmasters, and only exceptionally high-IQ individuals with an IQ of 107 over are considered to be capable of understanding it.

Coined by prominent proponent of the Bing-Bang-Boom chess philosophy GM xQc, the wooden shield is an essential part of the theory behind the Flying Dragon, Knight variation, as well as the Flying Dragon, I Take Your Pawn variation openings, which build upon the idea that early pawns don't matter - an idea repeatedly corroborated by top-of-the-line engines and neural nets such as AlphaZero.

Noob: I'm a queen, a rook, and two pieces up in material, this guy's got no chance.
107-IQ God: *smirks* Omae wa mou shindeiru
107-IQ God: *plays the wooden shield*
Noob: *resigns in shame*

Pizza Shift

For those in the Late Night Food and Drink Service Industry.

The Pizza Shift starts when the last customer leaves and ends when the last worker leaves.

During that time, money is counted, floors are mopped, trash is taken to dumpsters, bottles restocked, bathrooms cleaned, etc.

During these end of night duties, coworkers reflect on and tell the tales of the evening.

Bartenders tell stories of their regulars. Bouncers seeing who saw the funniest thing of the night. Kitchen staff making a snack, etc.

A time to slow down after an active evening. A brief break. A long awaited cigarette. A bite to eat. And sometimes, a round of Jägerbombs to commemorate another night.

*Also sounds like Piece of Shit*

Hutch and the Nompton Crew have the Best Pizza Shift discussions.

Jill: What time will you be home?
Jack: Don't know. Depends on the Pizza Shift meeting.

Shiella

She's strong, brave and always have what she wants, its either a thing or a person. A talented to a friend and terrible to another. The world's never gonna agree on a definition of what you are but you don't give a fuck because you know yourself better than anyone. You are smart and think yourself as always the best, you didn't want to lose so keep your chin up because there are ones who truly believes and wants to bow their head on you

Shiella is awesome as fuck!

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?
