sea ottering 

"Sea ottering" is to cuddle and fall asleep with a partner.

This is because sea otters often rest together in 'rafts' and hold paws so that they don't float away from their group, as seen in the popular YouTube video "Otters holding hands" by user cynthiaholmes.
Girl: Sea otters are so cute. Did you know they hold paws when they sleep to keep from floating away from eachother?

Boy: Haha no I never knew that, that's actually pretty cute.

Girl: Isn't it!

Boy: Yeah, and hey, maybe we can 'sea otter' sometime, yeah?

Girl: Okay! I look forward to sea ottering with you. *wink

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."
