1. Spelling & conjugation
Also spelled as "pop-ify" with a hyphen. Verb forms are "popifies", "popified" and "popifying".

2. Etymology
It is a compound word combining with "pop" (pop culture) with "-ify" as a suffix to mean "to become", like "-ise / -ize". It is originated from the review of ABRSM 2027–2028 syllabuses from The Heart of the Piano, and he says "The ‘pop’-ification of List B" from his YouTube channel, mentioning some pop music is slowing creeping into the "B" list in ABRSM, like "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift or "What Was I Made For" by Billie Eilish. Later, I consolidated this word into one word without a hyphen or quotation mark. Sense 2 is from Wiktionary entry.

3. Definition

1. To adapt the norms of pop culture or pop music.
2. To make something becoming more popular.

You should note that this word is included in Wiktionary before I am the advocate to establish the use of this word to the globe.

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."
