Shrinkiatrist

The origin of this word is extremely simple and in most ways unique too. Coined for the first time in the early 2013 and also at times in the late 2012; Made by the combination of the words 'Shrink' which basically means a psychiatrist or a psychologist or in much easier terms a therapist in the United States and the other half of the word is a common usage of what explains a person of their profession, much like psych-iatrist.
Tom: I feel so sick with all these emotions and baseless allegations; got no clue as what to do!

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."
