Protender 

The act of one pretending or proclaiming to be a pro athlete when in reality they are not. Particularly common in the sport of triathlon.

Protenders are fond of applying for as much sponsorship as possible. They are proud to wear more logos than a NASCAR and claim to have "signed" with these sponsors. Yet, in reality, their sponsorship is little more than a cost discount.

Sadly there are several instances of protenders bending the truth or blatantly lying to potential sponsors in order to land a sponsorship, thus stealing said sponsorship from deserving real pros.

Protenders are almost always slow, non-competitve and little more than pack fodder.

Pyrogendered 

Coming from the Greek word pur(fire) which down the line evolved into pyro for the English folk, and the latin word genus which evolved into what we know nowadays as gender, Pyrogendered is a quite new gender identity for people who see themselves as the incarnation of fire.

Some signs of being Pyrogendered include, but are not limited to: feeling a literal burning passion in your heart, understanding a fellow campfire's emotions, wanting to set the fire department on fire for what they've done to your friends, monsters.

Although some people will question your sanity and say you're an arsonist, just tell them that they're being pyrophobic and should let Pyrogendered folk like yourself roam free and spread your love/influence

Pyrogendered people also prefer the pronouns fire/starter
"Mom, Dad, I think I'm Pyrogendered, my heart's on fire"

"My friend here thinks fire's Pyrogendered, fire thinks fire's the incarnation of fire"

"Starter emotion's shouldn't be tempered, I heard fire likes starting fires, says fire feels safe like this"

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."
