DEVCHA is a wordplay on CAPTCHA. CAPTCHA is a test used to determine whether the taker of the test is a human or a computer. DEVCHA is a test used to determine whether the taker of the test is a developer (computer programmer) or non-developer. Essentially, a DEVCHA is a puzzle that a developer can solve easily while non-developers would find it very difficult, even with Googling.

The term was first coined by the developers of BharatPe.com. The company came up with an offer of superbike for anyone who joins their engineering team. Since it was a compelling offer, the engineering team needed a way to prevent a flood of non-relevant job applications. So they included a creative DEVCHA puzzle on their recruitment website as a way to amuse developers and prevent non-developers from filling the job application form.
Prove that you are a developer! Enter the DEVCHA __________.

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.
