Yamshahhar

An Arabic phrase used mainly in the Lebanon as a reaction when receiving news about a very bad incident (death, accident, ..), or as an exaggeration to a not-so-bad incident, like when kids break something or ruin the place.
It's usually used by mothers and elderly women.

Words used in phrase:
Sh'har: Is the black dirt one gets when s/he touches charcoal or the bottom of a dirty cooking pot or pan.
Mshahhar (mas.)/Mshahhara (fem.): Is a person whose face has been smudged with Sh'har (the black dirt)
Ya: O. Used in Arabic to call upon someone; e.g. O Man, where are you? O Alex, where did you hide my book?

So Yamshahhar, literally means "Oh you whose face is smudged with black dirt!"

Background:
In the old days, when someone passed away, his/her close relatives (especially women; mother, wife, sister..) would smear their face(s) with black dirt coming from charcoal or the bottom of cooking pots. This was to show extreme sadness about what had befallen them.
With time the phrase Yamshahhar/Yamshahhara became used to express extreme feelings of shock and sadness about a bad incident, though the act of smudging ones face stopped. Now, this phrase is usually used by the elderly, especially women, although most people who use it do not know the meaning of the words or why it is coined like this (like many idioms in Arabic and other languages).
A kid was in a car accident. His mum entered the hospital shouting: Yamshahhara
As the news arrived that the man passed away, his wife shouted: Yamshahhara
The kid arrived home with dirt all over his clothes. The mother said: Yamshahhar, what did you do?
The kid went to the shop an bought too many sweets. As he enters his home, his mother exclaims: Yamshahhar, why did you get all of that?
As their connecting flight was just cancelled. Mohammed asked George: Yamshahhar, what are we going to do now?

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."
