Jack the Sad 

The inevitable fate of Jack the Lads as they slowly approach the age of 30, or more easily described as the decline in sexual success an otherwise attractive and overly-confident single man will experience as they refuse to settle down and act their age. Once being a symbol of youth and sex appeal, they have now evolved into a sad yet persistent memory of their early peak. While Jack the Lad is considered a British term, Jack the Sads can be of any nationality.
The first symptoms usually start at age 25, however most Jack the Sads are oblivious of their decline until the age of 28. The most commonly recognised symptoms include a lack of lads nights as many of the lads begin maturing and getting married, being less likely to pull the young and blonde birds they are often stubbornly attracted to and not being able to relate to neither their own age group nor the younger generation.
Jack the Sads are victims of lad culture, which prides young men in being careless and sleeping with as many conventionally attractive women as possible. Their over-indulgence in the ingrained hookup culture has made it increasingly difficult to form meaningful relationships with women and thus they are often afraid of commitment as they struggle to see women as more than something to be had.
In order for Jack the Sads to recover, they must first go through the 7 stages of grief before taking the steps to improve themselves to find true companionship and meaning in life beyond sex.
Guy: So, can I buy you a drink or should we cut to the chase?
Girl: Nah you're alright, you look about 30.
Guy: Age is just a number, but I would say you're a ten
Girl: I'm 18 you creep, go after someone your own age, Jack the sad!

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."
