Pair of Marys 

Any two people that are insistent on either having their way or having something be what they believe to be right; usually behaving in a nitpicking manner over a matter that is generally perceived to be not that big of a deal.

Originally referring stereotypically to a couple of unhappy elderly women, but now to anyone who resembles the attitude. The name "Mary" is used as opposed to another name because of its progressive decline in popularity; resulting in more older people with the name than younger people.

The term is mostly known from its use in an episode of the The Office U.S.
Stanley, Michael, and Bob are waiting in line, with Bob being the foremost of the three.

Bob's wife comes up to him and seems to try to get in line with him to avoid waiting at the end.

Stanley and Michael see this and tell his wife to go to the end of the line.

Bob then calls Stanley and Michael a "pair of Marys."

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."
