Hook upgrade 

An term of derision. In this situation, a woman regularly hooks up with a man who is only interested in casual sex. The man will either explicitly say that he does not want a romantic relationship, or will repeatedly tell the woman that he is “not sure what he wants”- as a way to defer the subject, or to indirectly tell the woman “no.” But the woman naively believes that if she just sticks it out long enough and shows the man how much she cares for him, a proper relationship will eventually begin. In actuality this will never, ever happen. The “hook upgrade” is the female equivalent of the “gay friend” phenomenon.
Despite several failures, Buffy continues to believe in the possibility of the hook upgrade.

Philly Plinko Upgrade

The action taken by attendees at Philadelphia sports team events whereby the attendee moves from inexpensive seats located high in the venue, to much pricier tickets located closer to the field, typically involving several intermediate stops en route. When viewed from above, the path taken by said attendee would mimick the movements of the Plinko chip - side-to-side, yet still descending - used in the game "Plinko" on the popular, long-running American game show "The Price is Right."
Following his 3rd inning restroom break, Tom decided to enhance his game-watching experience using a Philly Plinko Upgrade. His path, over the course of the next 4 innings was as follows: Section 305 Row 20, Section 207 Row 17, Section 106 Row 15, Section 110 Row 23, then finally Section 110 Row 5. Hello Philly Phanatic!

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.
