Thesaurusized

A) To use way too many words when just a few will do, thus, meekly, trying to project an image of experience and knowledge where such does not exists, or has been mis-integrated by the user, causing a belief it is quantity which rules, not the quality and directness of the prose or verbal discription, thus generating the stench of verbal or written diarrhea to permeate the area or writing.

When asked to write a one paragraph discription of his favorite class, the student thesaurusized it into a six page tome. The Admission Reader was not pleased.

"I thesaurused this essay to death"

"I walked slowly down the street to school" becomes "I sauntered languorously down the boulevard to the establishment of education" (this is overly thesaurused)

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."
