Automail 

Automail is a system of prosthetic limbs used in the Manga/Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist. The main character of the series, Edward Elric has two Automail limbs, as the result of an attempt to use alchemy to bring his mother back to life. The first person introduced in the series as an Automail mechanic, Winry Rockbell designed Edward's Automail. Edward often uses alchemy to transform his Automail into a weapon by making it sharp (much like a knife), he and Winry often get into arguments about his abuse of her mechanics.

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."
