An adjective describing something so very incredibly mundane it gets so hard to imagine. It's so much more ordinary than everything else in its normality. A paradox, honestly. If something is so normal it makes it stand out, then doesn't that make it unique in a way? The opposite is hyponormal, but surely they mean the same thing...

Person 1: Hey, she tries to fit in so much that she's hypernormal.
Person A: You're making up words by putting 'hyper' in front of them. Besides, maybe she's so much more normal that she's not like other girls ;)

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

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."
