Compassing 

In the subculture of marijuana slang, compassing is a tool used to assist a smoker who is using a pipe. The person who took the hit directly before the person who now has the bowl says, for example "Northeast," if the green is to the top right of the bowl (farther away from the smoker), or "Southwest," if the green is to the bottom left of the bowl (closer to the smoker).
Bob "Hey bro, I didnt get a good hit, can you give me a compass?"

Dave "Sure man, my last hit was Northwest."

Bob "Thanks! That was much better."

Dave "Don't thank me, thank whoever invented Compassing."

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."
