"I am not an Angel, nor a genius, nor a ghost...I am Erik!" -Erik Destler, Gaston Leroux's "The Phantom of the Opera"
Erik Destler is the name of "The Phantom" in one of the versions of "The Phantom of the Opera", one of the really crap ones actually. Although the name Erik is universally accepted as the Phantom's name, the surname is only used when referring to the completely 80's horror movie staring Robert Englund A.K.A. Freddy from Freddy vs. Jason. Although this movie totally blows, it's still part of the "phantomverse" and therefore has a special place in my heart.
Erik Destler is the namegiven to the Phantom in a horrible movie which totally kills the integrity of "The Phantom of the Opera" story.
noun; usually used as one word in an instant as the "the one that got away". Similar to yelling "shit" after doing something wrong.

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."
