Microscoping 

Calling attention to a small detail or attribute that bothers you about someone, or asking them to explain it to you on the spot. Usually something that most people would avoid out of respect, or overlook because of how unimportant it is, especially when done without any segue and derailing the conversation or ruining the vibe.

May be done intentionally to "knock someone down a peg", or unintentionally due to social retardation. The chosen detail may be an insecurity for the microscopee, or may become a new insecurity after the microscoping is complete. The chosen detail may cross a line, leading others to callout the microscoper, or it may be too subtle to warrant a callout.

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.
