Grounded video 

A very common type of Goanimate (aka GoToHell) video. Usually, it involves a character, usually from a kids show, having a minor infraction, then suddenly his parents appear and grounds him for an incomprehensibly long period of time , usually at least 1 million years, then the character getting grounded walks away with huge internal screeches.
These videos are often very cringeworthy, with inanimated non-PNG objects and weird movements that defy physics being commonplace. They are so cringy that some mistook them as advertisements by Clorox.
Typical grounded video:
Caillou: I am going to eat some chips
*hand moves to a bag of inanimate chips with a background*
*boris appears*
Boris: *massive internal screech* o o o o o o o o CAILLOU HOW DARE YOU EAT THAT'S IT YOUR GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED FOR 98532908774 x 10^31 YEARS!!!!!! GO TO UR ROOM NOW!!!!!!!!

Grounded Videos 

The so far most common and controversial type of videos on YouTube where a entity (usually user or fictional character) have misadventures in which he/she/they do something intentional and then get grounded for absurd amount of years by parents. The first video of this type, though not as the same formula of the videos nowadays, was a video titled "Diaper Grounding" by PoseidonGodofWater20 Productions, which it was uploaded in April 30, 2011. But as once, the first well-known grounded video was "Brian Gets In Trouble At School", uploaded on July 2, 2011 by Adamkleinschmidt2003.

They became popular with a video called "Caillou calls his Baby Sister Stupid / Grounded", made by African Vulture In December 2013 and later reuploaded by the FunEditor4 on November 3, 2018.

Not even the now-controversial programming site Scratch is free of these videos.

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."
