When the vibe/mood/aura of a room/place seems uneasy and out of the ordinary, the air is heavy and something feels wrong. It commonly foreshadows that something terrible is about to happen.

The term was heavily popularized in 2017 when the game DDLC (Doki Doki Literature Club) was released, and one of the characters (Yuri) uses it.

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."
