Titanicking

A word used in the editing process that refers to when someone writes something with characters, such as a book, play or movie, where character names are repeated way too often and/or an unrealistic amount, inevitably ruining the immersion for the reader and value and flow of the writing.

The word is in reference to the movie Titanic, when Jack and Rose said each other's names way too many times. It also refers to the writing sinking like the ship did.
"You should rewrite this paragraph. I think you're titanicking a bit."

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.
