Nightingale syndrome 

The Florence Nightingale effect is a situation where a caregiver develops romantic feelings for their patient. Many often misunderstand the term to mean the opposite; that is, a patient falling in love with the caregiver as a result of interpreting an amiable bedside manner as affection.
See Florence_Nightingale_effect on Wikipedia, often confused with Nightingale syndrome (which is something else entirely).

Nightmeat is any type of meat (usually red meat) that are left overs and are eaten in the middle of the night. Nightmeat can be meat such as tri-tip, steak, ribs, etc... it is usually easy to grab and eat on the go, in such fashion that you can grab a piece of nightmeat out of the fridge and enjoy it while going on your way. This is especially true for ambulance personnel who have to wake up in the middle of the night and eat in the middle of the night.
“make sure there are leftovers so there’s nightmeat!”

“Hey bud, grab me a piece of nightmeat too!”

“Chicken doesn’t count as night meat, that’s junk, bud!”

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."
