'To do a loughrey'

This is a colloquial term from Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

The phrase refers to a method of laughter; the perpetrator unveils the joke and proceeds to slap their leg. Simultaneously, the perpetrator adopts an inhuman grin, projects a dry hoarse laugh and scans the room with piercing, desperate eyes with the intention to induce laughter from at least one sympathetic person.

If the attempt is unsuccessful, the perpetrator must proceed to insult someone to cover up their failure.

Perpetrator: ''That's what she says''
Victims: ''Naw man''
Perpetrator: ''Well I'd shag Lyndsay Taggart''
Victims: ''Don't try to pull a Loughrey''

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."
