Fauxicism 

A false toughness defined by machismo and self-imposed isolation. The fauxic lives a life of constant, perceived persecution or threat without a fully formed sense of self. Fauxicism is marked by a projected carapace of imperturbability and lonely burden-carrying, though this may dissolve into snowflakery when the fauxic's sense of honor or respect is impinged.
Drinking yourself into an early grave to avoid talking to someone isn’t tough or edgy, it’s fauxicism.

There is upper-case Stoicism, lower-case stoicism, and then there is Fauxicism, the lowest-case stoicism.

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?
