Take an employee/coworker away from their work to attend a meeting without notice, usually by coercion and/or authority, sometimes with a promise of food (which will not materialize or fall far short of such promises), often specifically to "throw them under the bus" i.e. make the person a scapegoat.
I was just worknapped by my boss' boss for a two-hour meeting I didn't know about, but at least he said we'd have lunch. Then near the end, he said "well, food will be here in 20, we should probably switch topics to *whatever* and dismiss *names, including mine*. Thanks for your help."

Fear of time clocks. See "afrophobe"
My next door neighbor Shaniqua must be a workaphobe. She just keeps punching out kids & collecting her welfare checks from her mailbox. $100 says she hasn't seen a timeclock since she worked at Mickey D's when she was in high school.

She does not have a compulsive and irresistible urge for work and is definitely not a workaholic. But, she is absolutely committed to her work, deeply loves what she does, and is an inspiration for her coworkers. I would call her a workaphilic.

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?
