verb. Whereas brainstorming involves storming the brain for its secrets, stormbraining induces shock to enliven the gourd.

I am staying awake and busying myself with drinking coffee nonstop until my stormbraining results in a resolution to this dilemma.

Higgins Storm Chasing

A “weather forecasting” page run by that bloke who always tells your mates he’s caught a fish “this bloody big!” but he had to throw it back and didn’t get a photo in time.

Every time there’s potential for a storm, he releases a caps-lock filled tirade about how it’s going to be the end of days and we all need to start choosing who to eat first in our Higgins-endorsed storm bunkers.

Of course, he only knows about the storms because of weather models and charts provided to him by various actual meteorological services, including the BOM. He thinks he’s better than the BOM, and will point to the few times there has been a bad storm and he’s “predicted” it (ignoring the hundreds times he’s forecasted armageddon and there’s been some patchy showers and thunder).

He has an oblivious army of facebook idiots who find the BOM forecasts too confusing with their “percentages” and stuff. The kind of people who need their kids to come over every time they want to print something. Idiot bower-birds attracted to the shiny, colourful Higgins buzzword-vomit forecasts.

Higgins: There's going to be an apocalyptic thuperthell this thunday trust me, hide your wives and prepare your canned food I know this stuff trust me.

Me: what about that last time you predicted an apocalyptic Supercell? Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Dammit Higgins Storm chasing why would you lie to us like this?

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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?
