Fauxtempt 

To pretend to genuinely offer help or assistance, when you know you really don't want to. This is done with the hope that whoever you're "trying" to help out will ultimately decline your offer. In your mind, there is no chance it is going to happen. A successfully executed fauxtempt gets you out of work/assistance while making you look good. A poorly delivered fauxtempt just makes you look like a dbag.
"After dinner, John said he'd get up to wash the dishes but was easily convinced that he didn't have to. John's fauxtempt was successful."

On the flip side...

"Yea my buddy offered to help me move but as soon as I said he didn't have to, he jumped at the opportunity to rescind his offer. Nice fauxtempt, dbag."

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."
