It’s an acronym standing for Back Of Hand On Forehead. It goes back to the early silent movies where melodrama was the order of the day and the back of the hand on the forehead was used to indicate distress. Now, however, it is applied to those people, male or female, who are complete drama queens and who treat a small setback or minor difficulty as if it was the end of the world. In short, it is the epitome of overdramatic exaggeration.
That wanker is having a BOHOF moment because the canteen ran out of chocolate donuts.
What a complete Malcolm.

Acronym standing for Back Of Hand On Forehead. Usually applied to those people, male or female, who are drama queens and who make major obstacles out of minor difficulties. It goes back to the old silent movie dramas where, when the villain had the heroine in his evil clutches, she'd go all weak at the knees and the back of her hand would go to her forehead. The epitome of overdramatic exaggeration.

Boof Broth 

(n): the chief delicacy of Georgetown Prep, boof broth is prepared by bottling the excess liquid which is expelled from the body during boofing, also known as butt-chugging, into an airtight mason jar. The liquid is then kept slightly above room temperature (72-76 F) for no less than three days or until the top layer has congealed. The membrane is then punctured so that the broth can be extracted from below.

The resulting boof broth is finally used as a substitute for chicken broth or served on its own.

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."
