triple buypass 

Refers to a medical procedure of "rerouting da circuitry" within da body of an individual who has a compulsive-shopping problem so dat he is able to ignore his inherent urges and proceed on ahead wif his life on three occasions where he might otherwise be tempted to spend money unwisely.
If a person truly and strongly desires to live a prudent and frugal existence, actual bodily-rearrangements might not be necessary to achieve said healthy state --- simple hypnosis has been a proven way to accomplish a "triple buypass", and in every possible sense of da term, too: i.e., after said non-invasive mindset-improving treatment, da formerly-spendthrift individual may thrice be able to either "buypass" (i.e., take a different travel-route and thus go sailing on "by" da money-spending opportunity without ever coming very near it) said unwise-purchasing occasion, "pass" on "buying" (i.e., "just say no" to an unwise expenditure, just like with drugs or alcohol), and/or "pass by" (i.e., approach da locale of said foolhardy-investment temptation but just keep on a-truckin') said cash-wasting possibility without even slowing down or turning his head to look.

Spiritual Bypassing 

The strategy of using spiritual beliefs to avoid facing one's unresolved wounds or unmet needs. A form of avoidance and resistance, the shadow side of spirituality, and the opposite of authenticity. Spiritual Bypassing teaches us to run away from our problems.

Examples:
1) Just Be Positive (renders shadow work impossible)
2) Blind Compassion (confrontation-phobic attempt at caring)
3) Pathologizing the Ego (the ego as an obstruction, something to be eliminated)
4) Non-Duality (removing everything uncomfortable to avoid in-depth psychological work)
5) Transcendence (escapism)
6) Magical Thinking (giving unwarranted weight to coincidence. Ex: "everything happens for a reason", over-reliance on "signs")
7) Blame Game (the opposite of self-empowerment)
8) You're Just Projecting (say this to avoid responsibility for your own behaviors)
9) Avoidance of Anger (a tendency to shun or repress the healthy expression of anger in the guise of spiritual correctness)
10) Wishful Thinking (the persistent avoidance of professional clinical attention in favor of spiritual solutions that do little to address core wounding)
11) Karmic Contract Bypass (a tendency to attribute every single event on the planet to universal or soulular intentionality)
12) Short-Cutting (disguised as permanent solutions to circumvent necessary arduous and time-consuming inner-work)
13) All is One (remaining perpetually focused on unity in an effort to avoid one's particular issues and challenges.

Jill: "It's spiritual bypassing. She's not ready to do the deep inner work yet, so she avoids it by doing all those Love and Light trainings all over the world."

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."
