An impossible situation that serves no purpose anyway. Something unachievable yet completely irrelevant, like trying to get a liveferret into an novelty balloon for no apparent reason.
1. Phil had three minutes to shave his muttonchops before his wife got home, not that she'd notice anyway. It was a total balloon ferret
2. Guy to insane girlfriend "You want me to stay awake with you through all of the Twilight movies? What a fucking balloon ferret."
The most amazing creature that is in existence! Furret is the sweeetest, funniest, and most trustworthy friend in the entire world!

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."
