copsplaining 

Deceitful speech police use to cover for their unlawful act against you.
An example of copsplaining is: When you are doing nothing wrong, they are committing an unlawful act against your will, you lecture them about what the law really is, and they give you a friendly command about being safe so they can bullshit about what they were doing to you in the first place.

@CompanyBrandAccount: We’re sorry that you are disappointed with these changes. Our increase in pricing is to accommodate for the changing landscape of our world due to COVID-19. We hope you understand this and we are willing to give you the best quality experience we can.

@Bob123: That’s it? What good corpsplain that was… I’m using @OtherCompanyBrandAccount’s service instead.

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."
