Garuns originated in Brighton, UK from the high school Varndean College Brighton.

Garuns is an abbreviation of the word "Guaranteed" originally used by the "Chavs" aka "nutters" of varndean school however it soon caught on to the rest of the city by either people using it in mockery or purely enjoying the great phrase. There have been many variations on the origin of this linguistic phenomenon, the most prominent of these say it is derived from a miss-cue of Gary Berkoff's mum, calling him "Garyuns". This however is most probably an urban legend, as is Gary himself.

There was an uproar about how Garuns was to be spelt, some (the clever ones) wanted Garuns to be spelt Guarans claiming as it originated from the word guaranteed it should be spelt in the same manner, however this just didn't happen as most people tended to write it as "Garuns" simply because guaranteed is a hard word to spell. Another break off from this is the so called 'msn' spelling of the word; namely "Garenz".

The people who most frequently use the word and who (disputably) claim to own the word are - Hobbie, Easty, Matt Watts, Sonny Ball, Joe Howell etc. Garuns can be used in almost any context, can be randomly added into a sentence or can be substituted for any word.

For example-

"Look at the size of my Garuns", "Pass me the Garuns", "She is a Garuns", "Did you Garuns it?", "Did you Garuns finish the homework", "I need to finish my specifigaruns", "lets mish it to the kebarens shop", "where's my Garuns?" etc. There are also many variations of the word Garuns.

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."
