A shamocracy is any political system that pretends to be democratic without being democratic. Examples include apartheid systems, disproportional misrepresentation, and all out autocracies who call themselves "democratic".

Canada's electoral system is a shamocracy because their voting system is so disproportional that majority of Canadian votes count for nothing, and they typically get a fake-majority government that only a minority of voters support.

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."
