Jongler Vandam 

A slick, charismatic move that a guy pulls when he’s trying to charm a potential female partner. When a man "does the Jongler Vandam," he channels a suave, mysterious, and almost criminal allure—like a smooth-talking enigma with undeniable finesse. It’s a combination of confidence, sly wit, and effortless style that leaves the target captivated. The move isn't just about what he says, but how he says it, with that signature sly grin and the smoothest of vibes.

To "Jongler Vandam" is to masterfully balance flirtation and mystery, like velvet tricks down a neon-lit street. It’s the secret weapon of a guy who knows how to walk the line between gentleman and rogue, making the girl feel like she’s the star of his own nocturnal ballet.
*Person 1:* “Yo, you managed to link up with shorty last night?”

Vandarius 

A strong, smart, and driven guy with a great sense of humor and always the life of the party. He's the guy on the team who is the captain and a true leader, but that no one else opposing him will want to mess with. You always want a Vandarius in your corner. Not only does he have brawn, but brains as well - good luck trying to fool a Vandarius. Also, good luck trying to win a debate with a Vandarius - he can talk a big game, but he can back it up! A true ladies' man, Vandarius has tremendous charisma and charm that other men will envy. But a Vandarius is the kind of friend that anyone would want to have. He might not be who you expected, but he's the type of friend that will come through for you - extremely loyal to the people around him, and he'll never leave a bro behind.
"That Vandarius is one bad mofo, and he's awesome."
"Hey, me, Brandon, Vandarius, and Jalen are going to play some ultimate later. You in?"
"Damn, I hate when Vandarius steals my girl."
Vandarius by rkb247 December 27, 2021
The term Vandari comes from the notorious apocalyptic sex cult, the Children of God, which began in the late 60's. The name was invented later to refer to the specific type of demons supposedly inhabiting the bodies of rebellious (read: intelligent) progeny that left the cult en masse as teens and young adults.

It was coined from partial use of three words: "vandals", "darkness", and the personal reference "I"; meaning those said to be Vandari were vandals of "the Spirit", heeding the darkness of the devil and focusing only on the self. Interestingly enough, visually they were described as dark and demony with blood dripping from sharp nails and teeth.

It's now worn proudly by those same ex-cult-kids as a badge of honour for standing up for themselves and for speaking out for those left with no voice. And the irony doesn't hurt.
Taken from xfamily.org:

142. These repulsive, blood-red creatures you see transformed before your eyes are the Vandari, agents of the netherworld, who infiltrate the world population in the Last Days. (Note: Phonetically this is pronounced Van-DAR-ee, with the accent on the second syllable.) Look at the significance of the Vandari name in your human language. The "van" is derived from the word "vandals," the "dar" from the word "dark," the "i" spelling of the last syllable signifies "I," denoting self or selfishness.

143. The Vandari are out to destroy. They are out to suck the very life out of the living. These seek to snuff out both the physical as well as the spiritual lives of those who are not protected by My Spirit. They are hitchhikers who work through many vehicles--those who are ignorant of the truth� darkened in their understanding.

144. The Vandari latch on to their prey and seek to use them to oppose My truth. Be aware, My children. Be wise, not ignorant of the Enemy's devices. Walk in vigilance. I don't care to give undue importance to the dark workings of Lucifer, yet I am a true Husband Who warns His brides of danger so you can avoid it.

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?
