Workers Comp Punk'd

When a client of a workers comp attorney is rightfully injured from his job yet the insurance company stops sending him checks claiming there is an overpayment. After several months of not receiving check and not allowed to work, the client goes broke. This situation is called by this name because the attorney fooled the client into thinking they were handling the matter and that the client will be getting a check. When the client runs out of money, the attorney shows little remorse on the matter nor suggests any alternatives other then go apply for welfare.

I was on workers comp and they stopped sending me check claiming they overpaid me. Two months went by and I still didn't have a check. I got thrown out of my apartment and I had to turn in the plates on my car because I couldn't pay my car insurance. I totally got Workers Comp Punk'd !!!

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?
