I’m allergic to glib.
I’m allergic to glib. — a glib response inspired by the style of the playwright Bertoldt Brecht that foregrounds the apparatus of glibness used as a counter offensive weapon.
This is a 21st century technique derived from the of 20th century insult of introducing a landline interlocutor to your friend “click” and hanging up a phone rapidly terminating a conversation.
Because of the way we now communicate, “snark” is the “word play of choice”. And many people have become “keyboard commandos and combatants”.
Often a dismissive rejoinder is required to reply in as few characters as possible based on 21st century attention spans and mediums of choice like text or Twitter and Facebook.
“I’m allergic to glib” is a wonderful way to terminate an electronic conversation while simultaneously dismissing the “snark-er”.
Like most comebacks, ultimately, this will become overused (see speak to the hand); so, use it while it lasts.
The good news is that if one uses and studies the writings of Bertoldt Brecht ; then, the only limit to creatively generating Brecht-ian conversation rejoinders is individual creativity and wit.

Whale
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.
