Going to Stanford

Generally used to describe urination; however, "going to Stanford" is increasingly popular as a euphemism for defecation.

Origin: Conceived as a method to simultaneously mock the concept of school rivalry and show distaste for opponents of increasing social welfare, "going to Stanford" received pop culture status after acts bearing its name were committed at the university's graduate school of business in 2007.
"Sometimes I think kidney stones are God's punishment for those who take going to Stanford for granted."

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.
