Hamtramck High School

Also known as Ham high, is a sad, dingy school in the middle of Hamtramck, by Gallagher St. The building is comparative of a mental asylum, and the people within the building truly reflect that. From its baby-shit colored brick exterior to its continuously brown and dirty interiors, Ham High is a charm. There's always an influx of ESL immigrants, and the kids are fuckin wild. They go behind their parents' backs and do horrible shit. The boys are horrible human beings who like to speed the entire city and create potential accidents. Backed by mommy and daddy for "boys will be boys," these egotistic rats like emotionally and physically harassing girls. Along with the abysmal and cobweb filled classroom, are the illiterate deadbeat teachers that don't know what the hell they're doing. The "Cosmos" team is a joke and the overwhelming sense of pride for this school is laughable. Don't go there if you don't want to be grabbed by a musty wannabe-gangsta brown boy!
"Hey Babe, I'm from Ham High. Where you from?"

"Ew creep. Let's get out of here, this pervert's from Hamtramck High School! Who knows what he'll do."

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."
