Secret Diplomatic Negotiations 

"Secret Diplomatic Negotiations" is a comical euphemism for anal sex. It was coined over at www.apennyforlenny.com, based on a Jeopardy clue.

The clue was from the category "BACK" TO SCHOOL. It was:

The answer was "WHAT IS THE BACKDOOR?"
"Could I interest any of you ladies in some Secret Diplomatic Negotiations?"

"Yeah, me and Becky Diplomatically Negotiated in Secret all night long."

"If you're ever in prison, watch out for the Secret Diplomatic Negotiations that happen in the shower."

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."
