duranies 

Collective noun for a group of middle-aged women obsessed with the band Duran Duran.

Contrary to popular belief, there are only around 1,000 Duranies, who travel around the world to each and every show that the band play. If ever you wonder why a Duran Duran gig in your area sold out so quickly, it is because The Duranies got there first. Duranies remortgage houses, divorce their partners and abandon their children to fund this extravagent obsession.

Duranies happily pay up to $500 a show for a simple lottery to say hello to the band members.

Duranies travel in packs, usually in groups of 5, although group size varies from 3 up to 17. Dress size does not vary much, averaging around 26. Although they act like cougars, they have no interest in a man unless he can get them in to meet the band.
Sarah: wtf? All the hotels are booked in Pomona for my business trip.

Sammy: Ah yeah. There's a Duran Duran show on. The Duranies are coming to town.

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."
