leicaphile

A person who takes photographs exclusively with a Leica.

If one claims to BE a leicaphile, he is likely a dirty old man, possibly retired and rich, who enjoys taking candid shots of women's bums and call it street photography. Often with no concern for photographic image making, only exploitation of beautiful women wearing thongs as they bend over accidently revealing their undergarments.

OMG, did you see that leicaphile? He must have taken eight shots of that woman! What a pervert!

Whale

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."
