A commonly used Northern Irish term meaning to be hit by a vehicle. It is mostly used as the past-tense of 'scrub' which can be used as a verb or a noun.

Our variation of the word 'scrub' is more akin to the act of washing (scrubbing) than the millenial definition of scrub which has no real definition and can be used to refer to anyone and anything.

Scrub as a verb.

Someone who can look the future in the eye and stare it down. Someone who can cry and not be ashamed. Someone who would go to hell and back on a dare. Someone who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable because they know that they aren’t alone. This word embodies the essence of that one friend group you had in high school.

That person just helped a friend out of a lot of depression. What a scrungler

Whale

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."
