Jobtown is a term used by firefighters to denote a legitimate or "working" structure fire. It is as much a feeling as it is a place; adrenaline, excitement, fear, and anxiety are some of the feeling triggered. To some, Jobtown is a fantasy place they only hear real firefighters tell stories about. It can be everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. Not to be confused with other "alarms" or fires such as brush or trash fires, Jobtown is reserved for calls where someone's life or property is saved from total destruction. Some firefighters hope to get the chance to go to Jobtown but most say they do but wouldn't know what to do when they got there. Few openly admit they don't want to go there, usually because they're scared or because they go so often they need a break.

Johto Drone

These are people who grew up with the Johto Pokémon games (Gold, Silver, and Crystal) for the Gameboy/Gameboy Color. Similar to a 'Genwunner', they believe that only a set number of Pokémon exist (251 in total), and will disparage any Pokémon fan who like anything related to Pokémon past what Johto introduced, claiming that Pokémon 'died' after that.

Around 2008, these people had a prominent trait similar to a 'Hoenn Baby', in which they believed a remake of Johto would be the second coming. Nowadays, these people flaunt the superiority of their Johto remakes, disparaging anything before, or after them, claiming that they are perfect in every possible way.
Johto Drone: "Hey, what's your favorite Pokémon game?"

Normal Person: "Pokémon Black or Whi-"

Johto Drone: "Black or White? Play a real Pokémon game, like Crystal, or Soul Silver!"

Normal Person: "But.. the new Pokemon are cool..."

Johto Drone: "Anything past Celebi is a Digimon!! I remember when the Pokémon were unique and creative, and not these rehashes!! Johto Pokémon had the last good designs before it all went downhill!!"

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."
