A term to indicate someone's questioning of the validity of one aspect in a fictional story is in fact overshadowed by the absurdity of the story's basic premise.

A phrase first coined when one person loudly wondered how the ducks in a Donald Duck story managed to breathe under water without any visible breathing apparatus on their diving suit, and another replied "You know you're reading a story about talking ducks, right?"

Seb: "So how did they hide a physical object in a mirror's reflection in the first Harry Potter?"

Gordon: "Dude. Talking ducks."

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."
