asiansplain 

When an individual of Asian descent (typically a male, Western country-residing East Asian, including Chinese/Japanese/Korean) tries to explain something to a non-Asian individual (especially darker-skinned) about the other person's own culture, history, or experience and behaves like they are more informed about it under the pretence of proving that as an Asian person, they are inherently intellectually superior and all-knowing, as stereotyped in Western countries. Since asiansplaining usually occurs during conversations where an Asian individual feels their social status or intelligence may be threatened, their arguments are almost always exaggerated, incorrect, or simply impulsive retorts with the expectation that everyone listening will agree and be impressed with anything they say. Take a shot if the Asian pulls out their phone to try to Google a fake news clickbait headline or Buzzfeed article in an attempt to prove their point.
Kevin: I heard that in Africa, everyone still lives in mud huts and poverty. It's funny how they're so backwards compared to us, hahaha

Umar: I'm from Nigeria yet our homes and buildings have been better built than in your family's country for decades... plus our economic growth is skyrocketing.

Kevin: Haha what? That's not true. I've seen pictures of your guys' living conditions on the Internet, it's so depressing. Let me look it up and show you. *pulls out iPhone*

Umar: Asiansplaining at its finest.

Almansplaining 

When an alman accuses other people, who are much better versed in a specific topic, with the subject of ignorance because of their knowledge from the mainstream media, television scientists or a documentary, insisting that the other is wrong.

Even non Germans can be affected by “almansplaining” since the word “alman” refers to a person who is willless, government-loyal and who inevitably follows all calls from the established authority.

almansplaining 

Noun:
A German specialty: explaining the intricacies of the Israel-Palestine conflict or defining Semitism with an air of condescending authority, as if Germany’s turbulent history with anti-Semitism suddenly grants them a PhD in Middle Eastern affairs.
Verb:
"to almansplain"
To lecture about Semitism or the Israel-Palestine conflict in a tone that suggests years spent not only studying history but also rewriting it, infused with the unique confidence of a nation historically notorious for getting it spectacularly wrong.

A mash-up of "Alman", a meme-worthy moniker for Germans with a penchant for unsolicited advice and rule-following, and "mansplaining", the art of condescending explanation usually reserved for men overestimating their own knowledge. Together, they form a term dripping with irony, highlighting a darkly humorous take on cultural arrogance.
"There he goes again, almansplaining how to solve centuries-old conflicts, because, you know, if you can’t trust the country that brought you the worst of 20th-century ideologies to guide you through moral quandaries, who can you trust?"

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."
