Obalming 

A process of mass hypnosis whereby the general public is mentally mesmerized through the soft repetition of the words "change" and "hope". Victims of this manifestation become zombie-like non-thinking beings, all of whom gape and stare just as if they have been embalmed.
"You should have seen coming out of the voting booths, walking like Frankenstein and staring straight ahead -- clearly, some heavy-duty obalming has transformed them all from their normal, thinking selves."

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."
