The Glass Mosaic 

(also abbreviated to TGM) a very popular fanfic on AO3 within the SMZS fandom written by HackedByAwriter.

This fic depicts the main characters of SMZS in an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, slow-burn, fake-marriage-plot-centred, Royalty/Fantasy Alternate Universe setting inspired by ancient and medieval Indian (and perhaps Middle Eastern) culture. Some would even go as far as to say the world building with its unique take on language, non-cishet conforming societal conventions and general aesthetic is on par with Tolkien's own. Complete with poetry and a dynamic array of characters that span across the LGBTQ+ community, the fic has filled a hole in many in terms of good representation.

Ever since its first update it has generated a fanbase of its own, with readers eagerly awaiting every Friday for a new update. Readers/fans of this fic have a strange affinity for sun/moon imagery, velvet plum curtains, blindfolds, white roses, the numbers three and thirteen, Taylor Swift and Arjit Singh songs.

The number of planned chapters also keeps getting increased from time to time by the author, and honestly the micro-fandom is thriving and are eagerly awaiting for the fic to one day be properly published.

Ass Mosaic 

The indentation on one's ass that occurs from sitting unclothed on a patterned surface-namely pavement-for an extended period of time. The said indentation usually resembles a sort of mosaic that might be found hung in an ancient Roman villa; next to a frescoe, perhaps? Most often occurs whilst smoking nude in a jacuzzi of suds. Inappropriate in every circumstance.
"Well, I've been sitting nude on this pavement too long and now I've got a bitchin' ass mosaic; look."

Doody Mosaic

The splattering of doody on the back of the toilet bowl, usually placed there by a man, which sometimes takes on the beautiful effect of an Italian Renaissance mosaic. It is particularly difficult to remove and sometimes needs to be scraped.
While cleaning the bathroom this morning, I noticed the doody mosaic eerily resembled Alfred Hitchcock smoking a cigar.

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."
