Breakout Room 

It's a feature in Zoom where the host can divide the participants into randomized groups. When it comes to online school, it is the worst thing on the planet. On the surface it sounds like a decent idea, but when you have classes with only a few friends and a lot of students who you know never do any work, it's all on you to get anything done. You have to have pretty good RNG to be paired with students who will actually also do work.
Teacher: Alright guys, I'm going to be putting you guys into breakout rooms for the next five minutes.
Student A: Great, time to try and be productive for a whole five minutes while no one else does anything.
Student B: *Says nothing because he isn't even in the room*

breakbeat

2) A variant of electronic that is characterized by the lack of the typical "four on the floor" (thump thump thump thump) bassline and loud rolling basslines. It differs from drum n bass in that it's the same tempo as most house music (around 130 BPM) instead of the faster tempo of drum n bass.
I got tired of the boring bass drum stomping in house, so I turned to breakbeat.

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."
