Baeddel is the etymological root of bad. Originally meaning "a queer or effeminate man or hermaphrodite" people forgot all about the original meaning. Just as if everyone forgot that calling someone queer had anything to do with being gay and just began using it for its derogatory connotation. Later on trans women began calling themselves Baeddels as part of a feminist movement meant to reclaim their history sometime around 1990. Around 2016 when various tumblr users encountered real feminists trying to revive parts of an ancient indigenous language it went about as well as anyone could have expected. They should have just invented a xenogender.

Trans woman: I've been reading a lot about baeddels and I think I should start calling myself one because I'm tired of being called a man hating rapist child molestor.
Tumblr users: you're a man hating rapist child molestor! Probably racist too!

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.

"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."
