Half-Day Dave 

Derived from the expression Hedo Dave and Cutting Out Early. A Half-Day Dave is a person who is never late twice in the same day. This means that if the person arrives to work late, then in order to not be late twice in the same day he must leave early. Typically, a Half-Day Dave person will arrive sometime after 9:30am and leave work by 3:30pm at the very latest.

Note that the Half-Day Daveer need not necissarily be named Dave. It has been seen on numerous occasions that The Rod is actually better at arriving late and leaving early than even Dave himself!

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."
