Noun Pronunciation: IPA: ˈfɔrˌaɪz/foh-er aiz
Originally coined in 1874 this term was a derogatory phrase used to attack people who wore glasses.
The origins of this word are unknown, but a few theories exist:
1. People thought of the glass lenses as a second set of eyes.
2. Due to how thick lenses used to be, they would sometimes reflect the things around them making it seem like the wearer had more eyes than usual.
This term is typically used by school children with intent to bully but can also be heard in more adult-oriented settings. Though, adults typically use it jokingly.

Its adjective counterpart: "four-eyed"

"Hey, four-eyes, why don't you give me your lunch money?"
"Hey, four-eyes. When are you gonna get your work done?"
Adjective "The four-eyed freak."

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."
