joywhore 

A person who claims to be happy all the time; this person demonstrates this by continually sharing positive sayings and seeming to never admit that life sucks at times. This person can easily be identified on social media outlets such as Facebook or MySpace by all of the status updates or wall posts that are chock-full of ways describing how wonderful life in general or a certain person in their life is. This person will rarely laugh at sarcastic jokes and seems unable or unwilling to truly experience or empathize with human emotions that are not positive.

The origin of "joywhore" was the brain of a Veterinarian who envisioned harm coming to those who cannot admit to having a bad day. This feeling of wanting to harm a joywhore is common among people who can have good and bad days and are honest about it.

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."
