The act of gently squeezing someone in a loving way. Not like overly excited grandmothers pinching your cheeks, but softer and more gentle. If it doesn't make your partner find you cute, it will most definitely make him/her smile.

The word finds its origin in the word ''plushy'' which is a soft toy people like to touch. Plushies are often depicted as cute animals as well. Thus, to plush is to make yourself/someone look cute and touchable.

I was plushing my cheeks, giving my face somewhat the shape of a heart. My partner instantly hugged me.
-or-
I plushed the cheeks of my partner, he instantly hugged me.

Whale

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."
