An embarrassing typo or proof-reading failure in an important document.

Named for a proofing error in a British student newspaper which was meant to read "Previous Balls have been well attended"

However, it got published and sent to over 2000 parents and students as "Previous Ballshave been well attended."
Dear Teacher,
I apologize most profusely that my homework referred to King Cunt rather than King Canute. It was a total ballshave.
With deepest regrets,
Student

Student A: Shit - I was in such a hurry to hand in my thesis that I left in those sarcastic comments I drunkenly wrote about my supervisor in the acknowledgements section.
Unsympathetic Student B (laughing): Ballshave!

Editor: I don't mind aggressive journalism, but if we get sued because of a ballshave, I'll have your ass on a plate.

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.

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?
