Jargonistic leadership speak that refers to anything currently happening at the physical workplace or online domain. Can also refer to any new scenario or progress in a field of work. It is a deliberately abstract reference that avoids direct speak.

Watch this Space

Perhaps the most annoying phrase currently used by marketing teams and YouTube influencers to convey a sense of hype and anticipation about their bullshit products or services.

Made more depressing by the realisation that there are indeed people out there, watching that space.
Peppy YouTube influence - “let’s just jump right into it guys, I’m going to be releasing some brand new mystery merch so watch this space”

Do not write in this space 

Okay, I won't jot down any letters or numbers --- but I WILL make lots of meaningless scribbly lines and ink-smudges in it, so dat YOU can't write anything in dat space, either! PPPPTHTHTHTHPPPPPT!!!
Telling someone "Do not write in this space" on a paperwork-form is virtually a guarantee that he will seethingly scrawl all kinds of infuriated gibberish in that precious little space, especially if he is feeling resentful about having to feverishly fill out the stupid form in the first place ("Whatever happened to the Paperwork-Reduction Act?!"), just as posting a "No Smoking" sign or putting up a "Keep Off The Grass" placard often results in an INCREASE in said unwanted activity, rather than lessening it!

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.
DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.

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?
