Polite Cat, also known as He Looks Very Polite, refers to a reaction image of a cat named Ollie looking at the camera with what has been described as a "polite" expression. The image is also associated with a series of photoshop exploitables featuring mock text message conversations between a landlord and a prospective renter. In the conversation, the landlord tells the renter that they do not allow pets. However, after the renter sends a picture of the pet, the landlord makes an exception, stating that the pet looks polite.

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."
