New Zealand term for "we used our ingenuity to fix it".
(The origin of this expression could be found on New Zealand sheep and dairy farms when farmers used to build and repair their own fences using No 8 gauge wire. They had so much of this wire they used it to fix almost anything. Cars, tractors, haybailers, etc. - anything that still worked was often held together with this No 8 wire.
Now days everything in NZ is measured in the metric SI system - the same wire measures at 3.26 mm! Who's going to say "use some 3.26....", however the expression has stuck with the older generations in New Zealand).
Nobody knew how to fix the washing machine. In the end Tom used some No 8 wire. That fixed it.
When I get stuck on a problem I always say to use a bit of No 8 wire.
when your so desperate to get high but don’t have a battery for your dab pen so you have to cut apart an android wire and get all scientific on that shit just to get high.
yo i was so desperate to use my cart last night i had to pull out my old crack wire from high school
A reference from a BBC Sci-Fi television series, where the main protagonist, the Doctor, tries to explain time to a character in the episode named Sally Sparrow. And describes that time is a big ball of "wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff." Or a ball of time where you can take any path alter any time line. Which is true, proven by Astrophysicist, Neil Degrasse Tyson.
Now used to describe something as very confusing.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to affect, but actually, from a non-linier, non subjective point of view it is more like a big ball of wibbily wobbly timey wimey...stuff

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."
