Yaboku, better known as Yato, is a character in the anime, "Noragami". Although Yato's real name is Yaboku, he is first introduced as Yato and is called Yato by everyone in the story, excluding his father. It is suggested that Yato's former shinki (regalia) Sakura gave Yato the name "Yato" after he wrote out his name but Sakura misread the kanji. Fast forward to the present and toward the end of the second season/episode 36-ish, where Yato is stuck in yomi and Hiyori realizes that Yato's real name is "Yaboku".
The vast majority of "Noragami" fans call him "Yato", but it is also common to see him referred to as "Yaboku" only when describing his past self.
Yaboku is the past Yato.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

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.
