Film Bro 

Someone who proclaims to have an all-encompassing knowledge of filmmaking but whose main personality traits are making 4 hour long YouTube videos about why The Last Jedi was worse than the Holocaust and shitting on Ghostbusters 2016. The Film Bro (correctly) dislikes the cynicism present in both films, but wastes everyone’s time by reminding us that it's shit years after it was fashionable, often in a long-winded and repetitive fashion.
Mark, my self proclaimed "Film Bro" friend, claims to be a true cinephile, but when we hang out all he talks about is how Rian Johnson is evil incarnate. He's never actually asked me and the boys if we could go see a movie, either.

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."
