Tegan Syndrome 

Quite possibly the only non painful overly pleasurable disease there is, it is soon to follow after one experiences the "Tegan Effecct" - in more cases than not it is unavoidable. A term for those who have a sudden realization that they've ditched their life, children, friends, husband, school, work, or any sort of human contact so that they can sit online and look at photos of Tegan Quin, sit on the L chat and discuss Tegan Quin, and sit on YouTube and watch videos of Tegan Quin. Some refer to it as "the gift that keeps on giving", it spreads rapidly like wild fire, while it is pain free, it's suggested that you have a substantial amount of money in your savings, because chances are you won't be stepping away from the computer any time soon.
Male friend 1: Can you believe she broke up with me! After 6 years!
Male friend 2: That's crazy, did she tell you why?
Male friend 1: Not really, I called her to ask and she said that she came down with a case of "Tegan Syndrome". I think it was because of that "Tegan Effect" she had last week. Do you know anything about this syndrome?
Male friend 2: Oh yeah... That's pretty serious. They haven't found a cure, and when they do it's said that most women won't want to be cured. You might as well just come to terms with the fact that your girlfriend switched teams

The term was coined by The Eternal Kingdom in 2022 due to their members of texan origin being responsible for majority of moderation warnings for hate speech and controversial memes despite all the people involved not really knowing each other yet exhibiting similar behaviors, however what made the term get coined were other instances of similar behavior by completely unrelated people from texas in other communities as well despite the fact some of them are members of minority groups themselves.

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."
