sizzling hot tamale 

This technique is utilized when you are suffering from chronic diarrhea. The long awaited solution to the diarrhea dilemma.

You rush into the bathroom and notice that there is a sweet 53 yr old Mexican woman cleaning the stalls. The uneducated individual would normally think the toilet is unaccessable. You tell her you need to access the bathroom stall quickly, just for some toilet paper to blow your nose. Then, upon entering the stall, you drop your pants and let your troubled colon explode its filthy contents into the lavatory. Flushing is of course optional. When you're leaving, the mexican cleaning lady will be kind of pissed. To aleive the tension, you shrug your shoulders like Michael Jordan in the 1992 NBA Finals and say "sizzling hot tamale" and leave (without washing your hands).
"Fuck, I really shit. Like, you don't even understand. I have to piss out my ass"

"Dude, you should probably go to the bathroom"

"But there's a sweet middle aged Mexican woman cleaning it"

"Don't worry, man. Just give her a sizzling hot tamale."

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."
