Cala boca Galvão

It's a Brazilian Portuguese sentence which means "Shut up, Galvão." It mocks the famous Brazilian TV sports commentor Galvão Bueno, who often overuses catchphrases and tends to talk more than he is supposed to. Organized supporters on stadiums would often yell "Cala boca, Galvão" during a soccer match so that it could be heard by Bueno and the rest of Brazil on TV. Despite all jokes and criticism towards Bueno, he still is one of the most popular and acknowledged sports commentor in Brazil and his famous catchphrases are often used by many Brazilians in many communicative situations.

Some of Galvão Bueno's catchphrases:

- Bem, amigos da Rede Globo... (Very well, friends of Rede Globo...)
- Haja coração! (You must have strong heart!)
- De cara pro vento (Face to face with the wind)
- Ronaldinho!! (Spoken with a long trilled "R")
- Vai que é tua, Tafarel! (Go! It's yours, Tafarel!)
Galvão Bueno: "Haja coração! Na traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaveeeeeeeeeeeee!! Na traaaaaaaveeeeee!!"

Brazilian guy watching TV: "Porra, Galvão! Cala essa boca! Cala boca Galvão. CALA BOCA!"

Crowd at the stadium: "CALA BOCA GALVÃO! CALA BOCA GALVÃO!"(repeated many times)

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?
