A somewhat derogatory name for evacuees who fled New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina who now live in Houston, TX or Baton Rouge, LA. The name alludes to the burden the evacuees have places on the infrastructure of said cities. And the lack of one and two bedroom apartments for 9 months after the hurricane hit making it impossible for Houstonians to find housing after there lease was up due to inflated apartment costs.
Many use the term to comment on the increased crime and welfare rates in Houston and Baton Rouge.

Katrinatreatment 

Katrinatreatment: when your local government during a crisis does nothing for your neighborhood because it is not a rich area of the city...example during the record snow storm blizzard no plowing of streets in your neighborhood, no shelters set-up nearby when power is out for days, all city officials who live in city have power and streets plowed in their neighborhoods. Mayor does not care, and city emergency hotline tells u when u call about no plow, and no way to leave, and u have no power or heat, they tell you "u are on your own" and hang up...that is called getting a "Katrinatreatment."
When I called the City Emergency Hotline to report no power no heat no plow in my neighborhood they said "u are on your own." That is called getting a "Katrinatreatment."

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."
