People born and raised in New England

Straight forward, no bullshit, working class, often have distinct accents.

Don't feel the need to be all hug-y and flaky like Californians when they meet people. Will give you a hard time, but only if they like you.

Often found in Diners and eateries named after the same person who's going to serve you wieners and coffee milk when you walk in the door. (ie- Sally's, Barbara's...)

Considered rude by the rest of the country, but only because they're pansies and can't handle honesty.

Person 1- Yeah I just moved to Rhode Island, and my neighbor hasn't said hi or waved or anything yet... but the other day when we got snowed in he came over and shoveled me out!

Person 2- What a true New Englandah.

---
Person 1- I'm visiting here and I don't think any of the natives like me!!

Person 2- We're New Englanders, dear. Stop being so sensitive.

Englandese

Another word for people from England, but it makes slightly more sense because 'British' and 'England' have nothing in common, but 'Englandese' and 'England' do.

'Englander' also works, but this is more fun to pronounce.

Whale

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."
