cyclotron resonance 

plasma in a magnetic field is heated through the resonance effect when the vibration frequency of an oscillating electromagnetic field matches the gyro-frequency of the charged particles in the plasma. This effect is known as Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating, and enables the generation of superheated plasma over 100 million degrees celcius of temperature.
this definition is pretty much ruining the title "urban" dictionary. but every dictionary should have something like cyclotron resonance.

cyclocross 

A previously obscure, esoteric type of bicycle racing sport originating in Europe in the early 1900s. In cyclo-cross, cyclists ride a modified road-style bike through a technical course, generally off-road, and occasionally dismounting and carrying the bike over unrideable obstacles. Cyclo-cross originated as a way for riders to continue off-season training and to improve bike handling skills by encouraging riding in horrid winter conditions. Modern cyclo-cross is a huge spectator draw in countries like Belgium (it is arguably the Belgian national sport), and is one of the only forms of cycling in which the spectator can interact directly with race participants by offering "hand-ups" (often beer or food or even money) to racers. Heckling of racers is actively encouraged. Cyclo-cross has made great inroads into the USA in the last decade with many local race promoters offering cyclo-cross races and race series, with many highly-ranked US racers competing in the World Championships in Europe. It is growing rapidly in popularity as an alternative to high-speed, often dangerous road-style racing and spectator-unfriendly mountain bike racing, with lower top speeds and less dangerous terrain. The best cyclocross races are often non-serious affairs with racers in loud costumes with decorated, often silly-looking bikes.
Bob: I'm thinking of racing cyclocross this year.
Andy: Don't think about it. Just do it. It's like a mud run mixed with a time trial.
Bob: Dope.

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.
