verb: an industry term for procrastination by writers, with heavy connotation of trying to justify the activity as something that "had" to be done. Usually activities that can arguably be considered productive, such as household chores or (highly tangential) background research. The term mocks the behavior of scraping the bottom of the bucket for excuses of diminishing quality.

I've mowed the lawn, washed the windows, weeded the garden, scrubbed the toilets, and worked out all my menus for the next three months. I guess it's time to... wait! I think the cat needs to be waxed! Yes! Cat waxing!

Waxing the Cat

An excuse to give to someone when you really, really don't want to talk to them. It's sort of like a stunner because no one expects it. Once you stun them, it's your time to get away.

"Waxing the Cat" is a family-friendly way to get the hell away from someone you don't like.

Joanie: Blah, blah, something stupid, blah, blah...
Fred: I MUST BE OFF! I'M GOING TO BE WAXING THE CAT!
Joanie: *Staring at Fred in shock*
Fred: *Makes an epic get away* HA, it works everytime!

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."
