taconite 

The special multi-grain recipe used for making taco-shells; this unique "formula of flours" is a closely-guarded secret, just like the "how we mix it" proportions of ingredients for other famous highly-desirable (and therefore highly-profitable for their inventors who hold the patents on said delectables) concoctions like Coca Cola, Colonel Saunders' chicken-sauce, Damascus steel, etc. have always been "totally hush-hush" ever since said recipes were perfected.
Ground-up grain is hardly very far up on the atomic weights & measures scale, so I am at a loss to understand why the Edmund Fitzgerald sank just from having her hold filled with "taconite", even if they did indeed "heap her to da brim" with it.

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.
