The Gordon Lightfoot

Noun. The act of tapping someone lightly on the nuts with your foot in an attempt to either piss them off, or let them know you mean business.

Lowry was getting ticked that Hank kept peeing on his house so he went out to yell at him one day to find that Hank would not listen so readily. Lowry then proceeded to give Hank "The Gordon Lightfoot", which knocked Hank out of his alcoholic trance. Then Hank having been "Gordon Lightfooted" decided to turn his life around and become a porn star.

Lori Lightfooted

1: The inability to partake in social events or outings in response to Lori Lightfoot's extensive safety countermeasures enacted, aimed towards "flattening the covid curve". This is a term most applicable to those closer to downtown Chicago, but also to those who live within nearby areas.

Can also be shortened to just "Lightfooted", however this is an actual word with a totally different meaning. In this case, "Lightfooted" must be used in a bummed tone.

We would've gone to the club for my birthday, but we were Lori Lightfooted

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."
