People of African descent get 'nigger' tossed at them--and use the pejorative amongst themselves as, some would say, a form of empowering re-appropriation. We also have 'sand nigger' for the Islam-colonized of the Middle East and North Africa. Admirers of the British raj use yet another variation for the swarming multitudes in India and their overseas cousins: 'curry nigger'.
A lot of curry niggers are popping up on TV these days: that chick on ER, Apu, the Qwikie Mart owner on the Simpsons, and that other chick from The Office.
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."
