Cyprused 

When you go to sleep at night, and wake up the next day and find your bank account frozen, your bank branch closed and the online bank site shut down. It is the joy of getting corzined on a more widespread scale. When and if your bank reopens, you will likely find most of your current account balance gone.

Don't worry though, the systemically important people (ie - not you) would have been tipped off and would have moved all of their funds out of the bank in advance.

Eurotrash finance ministers have used the mediterranean island of Cyprus as the template for robbing bank depositors to prop up the zombie western finance economies, in March of 2013. Coming soon to a nation that uses fractional reserve banking near you!
Did you hear about Steve? He had his retirement nest egg in a savings account, and was trying to scrape by on social security and interest. He thinks he's about to get Cyprused as his bank apparently went under, and the FDIC is flat broke!

Hope he likes dog food.

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?
