Pagliacci Turnpike 

When two or more co-workers decide to fornicate with a, or multiple, persons. One co-worker will hide inside the closet, while the other performs sexual actions on the Person(s), who are unknowing of the other co-worker's where-abouts. While the Person(s) is smitten in the act, the co-worker will come from the closet and take over without any notice from the Person(s). This may continue to happen as much as possible until the Person(s) has figured out what is going on. This becomes a success when the Person(s) does figure out what is going on, and is either okay with it, or starts to laugh.
We went out after work last night and found a really cute girl from the bar. We took her back to our place for a few drinks. While she was on the phone, we decided to play her the ol' Pagliacci Turnpike, so I went and hid in the closet, while my co-worker to care of the foreplay.

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."
