Vetting

Investigate someone thoroughly, especially in order to ensure that they are suitable for a job requiring secrecy, loyalty, or trustworthiness.

Derives from late 14th century Norway where you would investigate and check if a visitor was a vette (a supernatural being or troll) before letting them into your home.

The origin of the word is Proto-Germanic *wihti and is related to the german word "Wicht" and english "wight" and Old Norse ; «vǣt(t)r».

Robert is vetting Donald.

We should have vetted Donald before we hired him.

vertical fish

A dance that incorporates the core and challenges your balance. With your hands by your side, knees slightly bent, eyes wide open, you move your body in a wave motion side to side as if a fish is swimming. Move your head to the beat of the music and approach your soon to be mate. Get as close as you can and soon she will be vertical fishing right along with you.

I'm gonna vertical fish all night.

or

I wasn't going to dance with him but then he vertical fished me and I was caught drowning in his charm.

or

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?
