mellophone

The greatest of the forgotten instruments in band. Mellophones are the marching version of a French horn, because french horns don't project properly to be used for marching. Many schools nowadays don't have them however, since EWHS is the best, we do. They're played in corps and often the people that play them are pretty timid, unlike their similar looking trumpets. Mellophones are the best!!!

Mellophone Player: I play the mellophone
Non Bandgeek: What's that?
Mellophone player: It's a trumpet looking object in the key of F which a huge bell the size of a French horn bell.

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."
