When two or more people (usually women) block up an aisle at a store to gossip about the usual crap, resulting in annoying all other customers trying to shop in that particular aisle.

two ladies shopping in the same aisle at their local grocery store:
Lady 1: "You look familiar, is your name Cadance?"
Lady 2: "Yes it is, Oh my god! Heather is that you?"
Lady 1: "Yes!! Oh my god! Its been 5 years! How have you been? How's.. blah, blah, blah....."
Lady 2: "Blah, blah, BLAH, blah..."

A couple turns into the same aisle:
Husband to wife: "Damn it!! looks like the cackling hen society is blocking the f*cking aisle again!"

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."
