Metathinking is the act of overthinking the concept of overthinking. This also includes any and all advanced layers of thinking, so long as there is more thank one.

Metathinking typically involves a scenario in which the metathinkee can make no difference, such as an impending examination, interview, or relationship quandary.
"Dude, Brandy hasn't texted me in like a month. Do you think it was something I said? Or maybe she found another man. Shit. I don't know. I shouldn't think about it any more. Do you think i am overthinking things? I can't tell. "

"Shut up, and stop metathinking. That only makes things worse."

Another way to say 'i think'. First seen in culture in William Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', used by the servant Puck (you're impressed). But the worlds nerd subculture became enthralled with the term, when the term was used by Jar-Jar Binks in Star Wars I: Phantom Menace, hallowed be thy name, and is used by NORMAL PEOPLE in conversation. Sometimes used at the end of a sentence, to add an opinion (example 2).
Example 1: Methinks I'm bored.

Example 2: That's a nice arse methinks.

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.
