Dinowilliams Disease

Dinowilliam's Disease is a non-contagious disease that occurs when someone is "whipped without having a female lover", as quoted by Prof of Commerce, Philip Phung, Melbourne University.

In short, this refers to someone who DOES NOT have a girlfriend, but still contains the symptoms associated with being whipped.

The following includes but is not limited to some of the symptoms:
- Messaging all the group chats (whether it be the basketball group chat, tennis group chat, etc, but does so to get info on girls as opposed to actually socialize)
- Throws 6 million parties despite being in woop woop so no one can actually get to his house
- Ditching your friends on your Eng Lang table

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."
