gensplain

Gensplaining is when someone of a very different generation from you thinks they know more than you about something you are an expert in, mainly due to the era you were born / grew up in, and condescendingly takes the time to 'explain' to you how it works (similar to mansplaining).

A 25 year old kid in a shop tried to gensplain to me all about vinyl records and how they related to the length of radio singles 'back in the 70s' the other day; she must have missed the fact I'm over 50 and actually lived through it, or else thought I was senile.

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."
