This definition applies to government employees and poor treatment of it's employees.

When the employer viciously assaults you with the metaphorical sandpaper dildo that is being forced to work long shifts, pay out the ass for medical care and does not allow you to have any days off. Work Rape may also take the form of not acting on a contract they had already approved. This is not to be confused with the lesser violation, Work Molestation where they add a little courtesy spit and allow you 8 hours between shifts. The employer truly does not understand, that no means no.
John "I've been working for 14 days straight, 14!!!!" Tim "The employer isn't done Work Raping you yet, i'm on day 27!!"

Greg "I pay $30 a year for health insurance" Sam "Im being Work Raped by paying over$1000 a month!! The worst part is, I have other insurance but can not opt out of the Work Rape!!! There is truly no escape from the sandpaper wrath of the employer"

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?
