Guy: I don't know how to spell your name so you should add me on facebook!
Girl: *turns around and walks away*
Guy: Man I just got Koreanized.

Example 2:
Suppose a guy and a Korean girl hit it off at a party. They make out, hold hands etc. She is sitting on the guys lap and the guy says
Guy: Hey, I have to leave now, give me your number and I'll call you sometime.
Girl: No! I'm not giving you my number!
Guy: Really? Just give me your number.
Girl: Nope!
Guy: Okay... well I'm going now so I guess I won't call you then.

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."
