mating press 

A sex position commonly seen in hentai and Rule 34 and sometimes porn. It is normally just the Missionary position (albeit exaggerated) from the view of the couple’s rear, with the added touch of the penetrator’s legs more up on the receiver’s legs for “deeper” penetration. It looks as though the penetrator is squating while in the position.

This position is commonly seen in breeding/impregnation kinks, with the receiver being skeptical of being pleased/fucked or just being cocky or superior, followed by a female egg being fertilized seconds within seconds of the penetrator cumming despite in reality taking several days or weeks of the woman to actually become fertilized. The receiver is usually crying out in pleasure as a result.

A similar position is the Pile Driver.
“Man, that view of the mating press really turned me on!”

I'd say Quinn is definitely a pressed lemon.

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."
