Industry term used to describe a company insider that makes a decision for their own self gain at the expense of shareholders.

Historically used to reference the Canadian mining company Emerita Resources and the way the CEO misappropriated a land package to enrich himself and several insiders.

'So he dropped the land package for nothing and then gave it to himself later? He's such a Greedy Gower - he'll definitely get caught!'

'I can't believe he paid himself such a large bonus for such terrible share performance - what a Greedy Gower!'

'How can the company pay the CEO that kind of outrageous salary? Oh - the executives all awarded themselves outlandish salaries - what a bunch of Greedy Gowers!'

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?
