Massachusetts left 

At an intersection unregulated by a traffic light, making a left turn by pulling halfway out into the road to block oncoming traffic while waiting for a gap in the other lane.

So common in Massachusetts that drivers will stop and wait for a left-turner, even when they have the right of way.
- You're pretty late today.

- Yeah, I got stopped by like four people making Massachusetts lefts.

Massachusetts Left Turn 

A Massachusetts Left Turn occurs when the driver of a vehicle, when stopped in impenetrable traffic or waiting for an inconvenient light, utilizes the empty oncoming lane of traffic to bypass the wait and make a left turn. This can range from a quick dodge around the car in front of them, to a full throttle blast down hundreds of feet of road. The longer the run between where the car crosses the center line of the road and the left turn, the greater the skill and daring of the driver.
We didn't move for 3 light cycles because those incompetent boobs were digging up the intersection again, so I had to pull a Massachusetts Left Turn and take side streets to avoid being late for work.

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."
