wikiterf 

a wikipedia admin on a power trip.

you can be a long time or a new editor to feel the sting of a wikiterf. the term wikiterf is a portmanteau of Wiki (short for Wikipedia) and TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist). This "admin" differs from the usual admin or a long-time contributor. A wikiterf has no common sense, is a semi-Karen and feels the need to override every article with the excuse that "this page needs references". Really, what they're doing is unrolling your hard work, because they believe in the bias that they are somehow better than you, because they've been on Wikipedia longer and .

Why does this differ? There are admins who will even go as far as adding references for you, help you and contribute, and generally won't act like dickheads who own the place by removing content that is actually useful. They appreciate that you're a volunteer and you're not perfect - a wikiterf will remove your content, put it into a draft and not review your submission, and will argue with you why he's right on your talk page.

Not every sentence on Wikipedia has to have a reference, but a wikiterf will find the most obscure books on most obscure topics in a bid to assert their dominance and completely ignore your voluntary input. No wonder people don't want to edit Wikipedia?
person 1: I've just been adding an article about hanky panky on Wikipedia, and this admin terfed my article!
person 2: why?
person 1: because he's an absolute wikiterf!

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.
