ensconced 

Ensconced means that something has been surrounded by something else. Like a lightbulb being surrounded by a lampshade. The lightbulb has been ensconced in the lampshade.
Person’s friend: Man, that light is so annoying, have you thought about getting it ensconced?

Person: Dafaq is that supposed to mean?

Person’s friend: you know, surrounding it with something to direct the light so it doesn’t annoy me by getting in my eyes. Like a lampshade for example…

Person: Oh… that makes more sense, yeah the old lampshade broke, and I just haven’t gotten around to getting a new one I guess.

Person’s friend: Well we have time now, let’s go out and get a new one.

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."
