do work son 

Big Black (best known for his role on MTV's Rob & Big) is credited with this saying -- in fact he has a clothing line named after it (dowork.com).

Do work means to do your best, get after it, step up and push through barriers, overcome & achieve, etc. It's basically a way of encouraging someone to work hard. A more redneck version would be Get'er done!

Son in this usage is referring to a close friend or at least someone who would appreciate the colloquial/familiar greeting.
Person 1: Man, I need to get some good grades this last semester...
Person 2: Do work son!

Person 1: Just landed an interview with this great company and hope to make an impression.
Person 2: Do work son.

Person 1: Imma get swole as fuck!
Person 2: Do work son!

Coined by Rob Dyrdek and his personal body guard Christopher "Big Black" Boykins, "Do Work" works as a self motivator, to motivating your friends. It ranges from, but is not limited to "taking a dump" and "Nailing" a skateboarding trick. The possibilities for this phrase are endless, you just have to know how to use it.

Also, D.W, short for "Do Work" can be used as well.
Example:

Person 1: I'm going to backflip off of this 20 foot ledge.
Person 2: DO WORK!

Example 2:
Person 1: Oh shit son, did you see that backflip off that 20 foot ledge?!
Person 2: DO WORK BABY!, D. W. DO WORK.

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?
