(hahyp-fuh l) The act of having hope mercilessly that a videogame, product, or movie will live up to the imaginative over-hype and very improbable ideas and wants of the fan base looking forward to its release after a vague and misleading announcement, commercial, or trailer.

When a fan hopefully wants a feature that hasn't been officially announced to be included on said product, but understands more than likely it probably won't be. A sort of sarcastic way to say hopefully, while still emphasizing that you really do hope it happens and will be pleasantly surprised if it does. Best used in gaming announcements, prior to events such as E3, in which vague trailers are released for a game, and fans storm the internet with theories of what the trailer insinuates about the game's features without any factual information from the source backing their theories, sometimes in an attempt to quantify their justification for pre-ordering. Can also be used as an insult when someone is posting wild speculation about a product without any factual backing. Also defined as hopefully, but probably not.
This game's multiplayer looks like it's gonna blow me away, but I'm hypeful it will have an awesome single player game too.

The giant mech in that trailer looks awesome, so hypefully it's in the whole movie and not just a cool 5 minute action scene at the end.

My friend told me the new iPhone will have solar recharging batteries and can sync to any electronic in my house, but that just sounds overly hypeful to me.

Hopeful Romantic 

The opposite of a hopeless romantic. The hopeful romantic is someone who loves the idea of love, but also lives in the real world. They see the world as full of possibilities to find their love. They know that they will find someone to love, or may have already found that someone. They see the world optimistically because they know from experience that things are pretty good. Hopeful romantics take their time, don't rush into things and, instead, play the field.
"I love Ben Lee's music. He's such a hopeful romantic."

Person 1: "Dude, you've been single for six months. Why are you so happy?"
Person 2: "What can I say? I'm a hopeful romantic."

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?
