A dance of such intensity that the surrounding air starts vibrating ferociously. When performed in perfect rhythm, this dance can create constructive interference in air, which can lead to Tsunami like air waves capable of destroying buildings. The word is derived from a combination of English world 'Ripples' and the Hindi word 'la', which means 'to bring'. Ripples + la = Ripla; a dancer trained in traditional classical Indian dance is also sometimes called a Ripla.
A beautiful performance of Ripla brought down a lamp-post in the nearby street. She is a perfect dancer - she is a Ripla.

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."
