Pizza Vulture

A person who was not invited to a pizza lunch (usually in a corporate setting) that attempts to partake of said pizza.

Can you believe Glenn? He wasn't even part of the project and yet he shows up and eats our food. What a pizza vulture!

Thought Brisket

A "thought brisket" refers to the mental process of slow-cooking an idea or concept, allowing it to fully develop over time. Just as smoking a brisket requires patience, attention, and gradual transformation to reach its full flavor, a "thought brisket" involves giving yourself space to reflect, ruminate, and let the complexities of an idea settle before reaching a final understanding or decision. It's about letting thoughts simmer so that they can mature into something richer and more nuanced.

"I’m not ready to make a decision on that yet; I need to let it turn into a thought brisket and really slow-cook before I know the right approach."
