purseverance

Refers to an unwillingness to give up on your efforts to mooch off of someone (in other words, to get him to "open his purse" for you).
Sometimes the term "purseverance" can have a somewhat opposite meaning, as well --- it can also refer to the ongoing efforts that an overly-trusting person who actually HAS "opened his purse" to a neighborhood moocher feels compelled to maintain in an attempt to get said deadbeat to pay him back as he'd promised he would.

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.
