Usually when you get owned, it's usually by someone superior to you in a certain field that both of you are somewhat good at. Getting Columbowned is far superior as it's the act of being owned in your "top field" by someone who is seen as stupid or much lower than yourself.
Done in every episode of Columbo, he in fact Columbowns every murderer (with a few exceptions) with unorthodox methods, asking trapping questions, acting stupid, when he's in fact just building his case to Columbowning the suspect.

"The problem is, he's blocking traffic. Right in the middle of the shooting a citizen comes down, what's he gonna say..."I'm in the middle of a shooting?" Pre Columbowning done by the Lieutenant.
"I must say I found you disappointing; I mean your incompetence. You left enought clues to sink a ship. And for a man of your intelligence, you got caught in a lot of stupid lies." Columbowned was the suspect.

Whale

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?
