origination in the term 'desi'- a colloquial descriptive of a person from india, the desh, the motherland,
desication/desification refers to the progressive acquisition of indian cultural traits by non-indians and especially white people.
this indianising of an individual or a culture is exemplified when a person becomes adept at eating with their hands (and intensifies when they can eat rice with their hands), when their spice tolerance levels reach impressive levels (impressive even to desis), when they know and can recount the names of various dishes and the different spice combinations in each and finally concretises when a movie scene with dancing in the rain invokes the use of the fast forward button.

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.

"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."
