A term used to refer to a person who needs to explain themselves or calm down. Has its roots in bro, a term used to informally indicate a person generally thought of as a dude or guy.

Alternately, a bro-oriented term of endearment.

Notes for usage:

* May only be used when speaking directly to the intended brotaco. It is incorrect to say, "So-and-so is a brotaco."

* No articles may precede the term. Nobody is ever "a brotaco." They are merely "brotaco."
1) Whoa there, brotaco, you'd better ease up on the old gas pedal, there.
2) You're right about that one, brotaco.

brotacular

An amalgamation of bro and spectacular, refering specifically to the special way in which a bro is performing said duties. This creates a hierarchy which differentiates between the average bro and the accentuated BROoooh (sometimes refered to in certain regions as Dudebros) Usually the cause celebre for such an action requires an extreme level of broness exhibited and results in the immediate promotion of the bro to a higher, exalted level of bros known as brodom. For something to have been acknowledged as brotacular, the incident must involve the use of the word 'bro' at least 100 times, and a panel of bros must all come to a brocision in order for the event to be recognized.
Bro Judge #1: Well my bros, i've never seen such dedication to the cause of 'broing' in my entire life.
Bro Judge #2: SImply incredible. I never thought i'd hear the glorious word used more than 100 times in one sentence. Simply Brotacular.
Bro Judge #3: Send him the standard issue birkenstocks and polo t's. One of the best displays of brocabulary i've ever seen. *raises his glass*
All: ANOTHER BRO!

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.
