Amplitheater 

A theater designed to host amplified sound-based performances, including live music, comedy, lectures, and other speech-centric presentations.

The term is a portmanteau of 'amplified' and 'amphitheater'.

What an amplitheater is not:
• A traditional/classical concert hall (where a symphony orchestra would play) is not an amplitheater. These buildings are made to naturally enhance and project the sound of unamplified acoustic performances, and often have little to no amplification equipment.
• Almost all movie houses today have the infrastructure to host sound-based entertainment too, so they could be considered amplitheaters. However, a true amplitheater is purpose-built to support the best listening experience, with optimized room acoustics and a comprehensive sound reinforcement (PA) system.

Red Rocks, in Colorado, is a good example of an ampatheater. Carved out of the side of a mountain, this open-air concert venue has been home to many a show by great rock groups.

Russian Amphitheatre 

A sexual act created by the homeland, otherwise known as mother Russia.
To begin the Russian Amphitheatre, the male puts his Russian cock into the females vagina.

While he does this, he then begins to rhythmically slap the females bottom to a Russian song, and proceeds to sing.

When the song gets louder, so shall the singing and slapping. No mercy shall be given to the female, just as Stalin showed no mercy to his people.
When I heard that there was going to be a performance at the Russian amphitheatre, I went to go see. What I did not expect to see performed at the Theatre was a Russian Amphitheatre.

I should have read the playbill.

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."
