Goldfinching 

The act of hopping along a line, swivelling your head around and twittering non-sensicle comments to a large audience. Almost tropical in appearance, the Goldfinch can be found scavenging around the edges of fielded areas and is drawn to nuts around pools. The Goldfinch's song is majestic in it's creativity - but one caught in the act of Goldfinching tends to be dismissed as being full of shit.

Goldfishing

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."
