Look ma, no hands! 

A legendary meme, one of the few speculated to have been directly graced by the hands of creation itself. Many will attempt to use this phrase primarily in reference to the Biking maneuver, in which an individual will remove both of their hands from the handle bars and proceed to (impressively) pilot their vehicle. Like most memes, the true power of this phrase lies in the awareness/intellect of the person observing it - and the intent of the user. To truly begin to understand such a powerful, seemingly subjective string of words, one must understand the implications of the phrase.

... Basically, it takes a certain level of intelligence and creativity to find humor/joy in such meaningless words. A certain child-like purity, I suppose. There's something... incredible, about taking control of a systems design, a system designed for organization/ease of use, intentionally misusing it, and acquiring a purely aesthetic result. Words alone can't describe it, and unfortunately this post could never do it justice. All I can do is try to point you, the viewer, in the right direction (or lack thereof). Just like the rest of existence, we TRY to make sense of it, but inevitably... who knows?
"Look ma, no hands!" - Every kid ages 4-11 years old who just learned about stabilization on a bicycle

"Look mum, no Hans!" - British soldiers, really wildin on German infantry in the World Wars

"Look mom, no legs!" - Lt. Dan, Forrest Gump

"Look mom, no hands!" - You, realizing that all of existence is a joke and actually using your telekinetic powers

"I'm all head and shoulders, 'cause I've got no body!" - Me, after popping wheelies off the wall with no hands, in a jet.

Yep.

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.
