"Shillfluencer" is a term that combines "influencer" and "shill." It is used to describe an influencer that participates in "access journalism" and "influencer marketing". It is typically applied to internet influencers who dishonestly provide a review or opinion on a product without disclosing that they have been paid or biased in the seller's favor. Companies use shillfluencers to astroturf positive feedback for their products without the need for traditional advertising. The following are some telltale symptoms of a shillfluencer.

- Not stating that they have a relationship with members of the product's company.
- Not identifying themselves an employees of the company.
- Giving an excessive amount of favorable praise while offering no or little criticism.
- Not disclosing their sponsorship.
- Receiving free early access to the product or exclusive access.
- Assigned a pre-approved script to be conveyed.
- Avoiding any controversial topics that could jeopardize access to the company.

Guy 1: Whoa, have you seen this influencer pushing a product that has just been shown to be fraudulent? Do you think they were a shill?
Guy 2: Yeah, I guess you could call them a shillfluencer.

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.

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?
