A musical sub-genre that incorporates the hallmarks of shoegaze and noise music and lo-fi recording techniques (or lack thereof). Often found with a bit of punk influences. Originally applied to bands like Psychedelic Horseshit, Times New Viking, and others from the Columbus, Ohio scene. Now, it's used to describe any band that uses a massive amount of grimy reverb for their songs.

That band sounded so rough, I couldn't even tell when they changed chords. So shitgaze!

shitamente

Spanish extension to the standard word shit. Mostly latin people mix their native spanish with the english spoken where they live, this is known as Spanglish. Example: Look, una church. So why just mixing sentences with two languages, also mix two words together! Adding to a spanish word -mente or -amente makes out of a adjective an adverb. So I extent shit to shitamente.

Shitamente, what a fuck is this!

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?
