Going Bodmin 

The phrase, "going Bodmin" refers to the Cornwall County Asylum opened in Westheath Avenue, Bodmin in 1815, much of which is still in existence, although it has now been turned into housing. The phrase, "gone" or "going Bodmin", relates to this and actually means, "going mad" or "simple". Indeed, if you describe someone as being, "a bit Bodmin", you are saying that they are not in full control of their mental faculty!

There was even an episode of the Cornish TV sitcom Doc Martin which used this definition when they named an episode, "Going Bodmin"!

Besides which, if you ask any proper Cornishman about the people who live in Bodmin, he'll tell you that they tend to be a strange bunch...
Basically, if someone is referred to as "going Bodmin" or being, "a bit Bodmin", then he/she "ain't right in the head"!

A large and picturesque town in mid-cornwall famous for it's 18th Century Gaol, historic church and ruins of an old Abbey. Originally named Bosvenegh in Cornish, meaning 'place of the monks'.

Today however Bodmin is infamously known as Teen-mum capital of the South West, Chav Town and Scumville.
The best places for spotting these common lifeforms is as follows
Teen-mum(s): Outside Icelands in Fore Street, Wetherspoons pub and can also been seen smoking, swearing and spitting outside the infant schools
Chavs: Usually seen near cost-cutters or flocking like seagulls after the bin lorries on bin day.

You can fill your evenings in Bodmin at any of the numerous pubs, and later at the shitehole known as Eclipse, where you can buy booze for your children, drugs for yourself, or, if you are a young couple you could probably purchase a few children.

There is also fun to be had watching the Police trying to catch any escapees from St. Lawrence's mental ward, witnessing the boy racers screeching their Kevved up shitmobiles through the town centre, or if your stomach can handle it, watching said boy racers copulating with their underage, pasty skinned schoolie girlfriends down at Priory Park.

One other enjoyable daylight pastime is to have a walk along the delightful Camel Trail where you can treat yourself to the challenging sport of dodging dog shit, hypodermics and used condoms.
Bodmin: Used as a conversation stopper

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."
