call in threat 

Not calling someone and threatening them but the worry you feel over getting called in to work whenever the phones rings on your day off.

While this usually only applies to part time workers, it can also apply to full time workers when called in to work overtime.

Sometimes it gets so bad that:

* You're afraid to pick up the phone and/or will screen all calls (and will be very thankfull for caller ID)

* You'll be unable to sleep in at all because you cannot relax because they might call.

* You'll be afraid to make plans of any kind because you might get called in. (ie, it's your birthday or a relatives birthday and you have the day off and want to take them out for supper, but are afraid to plan beyond 'if I don't get called in maybe we could' because you cannot count on actually having the day off)

* You cannot relax even in hobbies that used to give you great joy because the worry you're going to get called in.

Depending on the nature of the hours you work, after a certain time durring the day you can probably relax as a call in is unlikley after that point. However, if they can also call in you in to work a night shift, it can continue all day :(.
Sorry man, I just can't relax because of the call in threat.

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?
