Dr. Manhattan 

A fictional superhero from Alan Moore's comic Watchmen who is completely blue. He is uneffected by natural laws such as gravity, and has blue man junk with which he has banged many women such as the Silk Spectre ( a fellow crime fighter). He also prefers to go around stark naked.
If you really need an example, go to a Borders or something and ask for a worthwhile comic. (Apparently I have to write "Dr. Manhattan" for this to work. So here)

Manhattan Free Shit Zombie 

Because they pay a fortune to share a one bedroom apartment with Craigslist dipshits, buy 15 dollar martinis and 5 dollar coffees, expensive shoes, clothes or “man bags,” many of the younger denizens of Manhattan are usually broke. Because of their penury, which they are loath to admit, this group will turn to free or very inexpensive events to kid themselves that they're having a good time living in the overly expensive and neurotic shithole they call home.

Use of websites like Group On and Meetup is common. When a free venue is found (Free days at the museum, gratis concerts, movies and plays in the park, esoteric bullshsit lectures) they will turn into shuffling zombies, pack these venues to the rafters and squash any bit of fun you might have by inducing claustrophobia or annoying you with their "Got to crowd every little bit of experience into my fabulous life" insanity. When you see these people waiting on lines a block long they look like something out of a George Romero film.

Shooting these zombies though the head, although the preferred zombie eradication method, will usually lead to incarceration in a penal institution. Avoidance is the best tactic. And the only way to steer clear of Manhattan Free Shit Zombies is to go to events and venues that charge a fee. Any event with a price tag of over twenty dollars is usually sufficient to repel them.
Dylan – “Say, you want to go to the Guggenheim and check out the new exhibit? They dont charge admission on Sunday night.”

Roger – “Fuck that shit. The place will be crawling with Manhattan Free Shit Zombies. Lets go have dinner at a nice restaurant instead. They can’t afford that."

Sally – “Want to go to Governor’s Island and catch that free reggae concert?”

Hilary – “Free shit. Must have…….”

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?
