An epidemic that is spreading across private schools across America. Rich fuckups that feel the need to protect their necks are especially likely to contract Collar Popping Syndrome, or C.P.S. The disease involves a person wearing a button down shirt with the collar flicked up. Not only is this hazardous to personal health but it is also a mortal sin. Anyone, preppy or not, who catches C.P.S. will surely be damned for it.
"Oh my god!! look at those fuckups at the country club, they all have collar popping syndrome. Also see Stang Banga
Usually when one pinches the sides of your collar, usually on a polo or dress-shirt. You pinch the sides, and pull them up in self appraisal. It's a way of saying to the world, "look at how great I am". Almost exclusively male.
For preppy teenaged boys and girls;
Usually when the boy or girl unfolds the collar of a polo so that it stands straight up around the neck. It's supposed to be 'cool', but you can sometimes come off looking like Batman.
For gangstas; "You were popping your collar when I told you how sharp you looked in that velour suit."
For preps; "Nick was popping his collar in class today. At first I thought his ears were cold, but then I realized he thought it was 'cool'."
"Now every since I could remember I been poppin my collar Every since I could remember I been working this hoes
And they betta put my money in my hand" -- Three 6 Mafia

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."
