spurlocky 

To use a very flashy, poppy and shiny style of telling a story or explaining something on film to hide the fact you are saying nothing of value or your subject is so shallow in fact you need for people to be distracted.

Named after Morgan Spurlock, creator of Super Size Me, Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden and other documentaries that emphasize flash, pomp and circumstance over content and insight. Was not the originator of this (Michael Moore came first) but Spurlock took this to a new level.

Does not have to be defined by documentaries. The films "Grand Canyon" and "Crash 2006" are other great examples of this.
The speech by Ricky Fitts in American Beauty was so spurlocky. It was completely empty!

Ben Stein being unable to prove anything in Expelled, it was such a Spurlocky affair.

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.
