oh my Arceus 

(interjection) An interjection used among Pokémon fanatics to replace "Oh my God".

The reason why Arceus replaces God is simple: Arceus is the Pokémon responsible for the creation of the Sinnoh region, and possibly the whole universe (Pokéverse, if you may) according to myths around the world of Pokémon. His legend dates back to Generation 4 (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum). Arceus is also called "The Original One".

Arceusism is a polytheistic belief system. According to said myth/religion, Arceus is said to be born from an egg, emerging from a vortex, and then created the Legendaries of time, space, and antimatter: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, respectively. When mankind started inhabiting Sinnoh, he created three Pokémon to give humans knowledge, emotions, and willpower.

The term, in real life, is used as jargon among fans, as reversed verisimilitude to the Pokémon universe. It is also used online where "Oh my God" might provoke a number of religious and/or sensitive people.
"I just got the new Pokémon game!"
"Oh my Arceus! Can I see?"

The apparent "god" of the Pokemon world, soon to appear in the 12th Pokemon movie to enact judgement day upon the universe. Some question, now that you can hack GOD IN A POKE-BALL, what legendaries are left to spew out.
ZOMG! ARCEUS HAS COME TO PASS JUDGEMENT UPON US! WE ARE OFFICIALLY SCREWED!

So, what legendaries are next, Mr. Satoshi Tajiri?
Tajiri: Do you honestly expect more after we let you literally hold GOD in your hands? I don't think so.

Adjective. Used to describe someone with perceived godlike powers, the ability to change types on a whim, the ability to run a killer Swords Dance set, or all three.
Toddlers all believe they are gods, can turn from delighted to furious in a matter of seconds, and love to play with swords. Every single one is a classic Arceus... their Calm Mind set, however, is not very good.

murderhobo

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."
