Schrödinger’s Catfish

When you’re talking to someone online and you’re not sure if they’re real or a catfish — they exist in a superposition of being both real and a catfish until you meet them or see them on video.
Example:
Person 1: Yeah bro, the girl I’m talking to is really cool.
Person 2: Great, have you seen her yet?
Person 1: No, but I sent her flowers.
Person 2: Ah… Schrödinger’s Catfish. Poor guy.

Catfish Smell 

When a vagina is either overused or unwashed, resulting in the girl's vaginal odors to ferment with the sweat and rotten semen, thus causing her vagina to smell like fish
Guy: Yo, bro. Stacy's got catfish smell!
Chad: For real, bro? Gnarly!
Guy: Yeah, brah! I told her to wash it but she was busy bitching about body acceptance and stuff.
Chad: Feels bad, broski. Let's chug some Monsters to wash the smell out.

Catfish Story 

A real story about a single girl that meets a scam artist online. He tries hard to impress her, makes her believe he is single and just wants a chance. He posts attractive pictures of 'himself' and tells interesting stories (that are NOT TRUE). The stories and the pictures came from someone (a stolen identity) on Facebook.

The red flags: He acted emotional when she was not around; made her feel bad for not giving him a chance; said sweet things to her so she would come back online; when she came back, he pushed her away with verbal abuse or pictures of himself with (an automatic) girlfriend; hides behind seduction games; the cycle repeats over and over.

AND YOU WILL START TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IMAGINING ALL OF IT AND LOSING YOUR MIND....

All the while, his online buddies start to feel the same thing you're feeling...

Why doesn't he just meet IRL and get it over with?

BECAUSE HE CAN'T! HE IS NOT REAL! HE CAN NEVER and WILL NEVER MAKE IT REAL.

THE VICTIM OF THIS STORY LATER LEARNED THAT HER ONLINE LOVE INTEREST WAS REALLY A Lesbian pretending to be a man.
People, don't be another Catfish Story. Talk on the phone asap and meet IRL like normal singles do. A background check wouldn't hurt. Remember, catfishers CAN'T meet you because they are NOT who they say they are and their goal is to keep the online fantasy going for as long as their victims will allow.

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."
