instafail 

The action of failing instantly at a tried action.

For instance, the act of not putting sage into the email field, and then posting will amount to an instafail, as the poster has failed instantly at saging.

Other instafail incidences can be seen as linking to ebaumsworld, reffering to a picture of a cat with text on it as a "lolcat", or any other commonplace newfaggotry action that takes place on the internet.

Instafailing is not limited to the internet though, any action that can be perceived as failing at the moment the action is attempting can also be seen as an instafail.

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."
