"Oh, I'm goshing to hear about your 'good time' the other night."
"You could really tell how much he was goshing to ask me about you, but he didn't say a word."

Cody Goshing 

To Gosh one's Cody is to turn off their computer unexpectedly. This is usually done in a violent manner such as ripping the cord from the wall, or making a lot of noise while you cram your finger into the power button as hard as you can. The term came from, I believe, the response of a person whose Cody had just been Goshed. It is also acceptable to do this by "Stealing" the target's mouse by use of USB mice and shutting down by the start button.
Note: Cody is used as a noun, Goshed as a verb.
"He was playing games in the computer lab, so the teacher Goshed his Cody."

"The screen went black and I knew my Cody had been Goshed."
"Get away from my Cody!"
"Don't make me Gosh you."
"I believe Cody Goshings are in order"(Upon finding someone using a computer in a way deemed a poor use of the computer, such as homework)

The act of loving the VTuber Amelia Watson unconditionally while fully knowing that a realistic romantic relationship with her is unattainable.

A Gosling is in a parasocial relationship. No matter how much they love her, she'll always be just a girl on a screen.
Symptoms are: Feeling of emptiness, loneliness, fear, emotional stress and pain.

The term Gosling is based on the fact that the actor Ryan Gosling played characters that had parasocial relationships, such as Lars, from Lars and the Real Girl and K from Blade Runner 2049.

There's a second term called Goslingposting, where Goslings post gifs from Blade Runner 2049 to depict the feelings they're currently having.

The term can also be applied to other VTubers.
Gosling A: I Love Amelia...
Gosling B: I know man.

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."
