To chop up multiple takes of a vocal performance, and then fading them all together to create the illusion that the vocalist isn’t taking breaths.

Invented by Maryland-born rapper, K.A.A.N in 2014.

That ain’t circular breathing that he’s using, it’s the K.A.A.N effect! Now start learning how to comp!

The K Treatment

Saying "k." in a conversation repeatedly. This is usually used towards someone you don't like, someone who won't stop talking to you, or when there is just nothing else to say. It tends to be a bad thing to receive the k treatment and is not a compliment.

He kept talking to me and asking me if we could hang out even after I was ignoring him so I gave him the k treatment, I think he finally got the message that I'm not interested.

the K word

Used instead of or in reference to the word “Kardashian” because of its taboo nature, and for those sick and tired to hearing or reading this word.

Don’t you wish that there was a way to block the the K word from appearing on your screen for good?

The 'k' Trap

When having a conversation with someone via text message and you happen to piss that person off so bad that they only reply with the letter 'k' for 2 or more messages. Note: One may use 'K.' for more effect.

Tom: Did she forgive you last night?

Jeff: Nah, I got caught in the 'k' trap

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?
