This is a combination of "cat fishing" and "gas lighting". When some pretends to be someone they're not and then tries to convince you that they never gave you that idea.

This guy tried catlighting me. I was convinced when we chatted that he was a Top... but he was on all 4s as soon as we met.

Chatlighting

The act of deliberately prompting, steering, or reframing questions to an AI (especially ChatGPT) in order to elicit a desired answer, validation, or confirmation—often by selectively presenting information, omitting context, or repeatedly rephrasing until the response aligns with one’s preferred outcome.

He was clearly chatlighting the model until it agreed with his argument.

Whale

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?
