What happens when a group of high school or college kids gets together and no one actually talks but they all sit there and fiddle with their I-phones, I-pods and , I pads —each in their own separate bubble. Kind of like socializing except no one interacts.

At the dorm meeting the new freshmen all sat around Nocializing , and when they left not one of them could even remember the name of any of the other kids who were there.

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."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.
