Chucking a Raves

Say you and your homies have gone out for a night on the town, and you've had a few too many blueberry cruisers. So after a taxi ride home that took you through the Maccas drive-thru for some sweet nugs, you decide to ditch your friends and rock up unannounced at a friends room only to jump under the doona. However, unlike the booty -call, chucking a raves is to have a sleep over with no intention of reaching penetration station.

Normally after chucking a raves the visitor will leave early in the am, in order to avoid meeting roomies or parents.

If an individual experiences several raves in a short period of time their bedroom may be reffered to as the 'Rave Cave'.
For example, "Dude I don't wanna bang her, I just wanna awkwardly cuddle her and leave at 6am..."
"Dude that's totally chucking a Raves"

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."
