Adropos may be used to characterize a lot of different behaviors where a man (never a woman!) acts with unparalleled manner. It is the ultimate characterization that a man from Cyprus may ever receive. It is very difficult for someone to reach such a state and you may never be able to come across an Adropos. Most Adropoi (plural of Adropos) may be found in the Kingdom of Aradippou (a city-state-kingdom) in Cyprus. (for the ignorants; Adropos is ALWAYS written with two “omikron” and never with an “omega”)
En mialos Adropos olan! (slung Cyprus dialect)

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."
