Razorlight

A 'Razorlight' is best-encapsulated as a male with long, dark hair demonstrating malnourished features such as somewhat dodecaheronic cheek bones.

The term was inspired by Noel Fielding's role as 'Jones' in Nathan Barley and coigned around the drummer of popular Indie band - Razorlight.

Razorlights are a burgeoning force in the UK with the growth of interest in bands such as The Feeling, teen comedy-sham - The Mighty Boosh, and trivially cliché magazine - NME.

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."
