temptention 

The urge to camp out in the woods for a comparatively short period of time ("TEMPorarily live in a TENT"); this feeling usually develops when your presence at home would be undesirable/inconvenient, such as when you're wanted by the cops, or your over-the-age-of-legal-adulthood status interferes with your family's receiving state/federal assistance. This craving to "rough it" is usually fairly easy to fulfill if the weather is reasonably mild, since all you'll need to adequately survive is a small tent and a few clothes and blankets and other basic accessories. Plus in most cases your house is not going to be watched 24/7, and so usually you can sneak back home for midnight visits a couple times a week to shower and replenish your food/toiletries before slinking back to your remote campsite, while still allowing your family members to truthfully tell the authorities, "Oh, he doesn't live here anymore" if they come asking about you during the daytime. And then, once the heat is off (such as when "they" eventually give up looking for you, or after the desired government-assistance is supplied), you can quietly return to your home, and then keep a fairly low profile till the community gradually becomes re-accustomed to your presence.
The regulations for low-income-family assistance are not written with human reality in mind, and so there's a lot of temptention for assistance-seekers to "remotely conceal" various family members while the eligibility-evaluation proceedings are being carried out.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

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?
