paolinize 

The teenage Christopher Paolini published the book Eragon in 2003. Despite the fact that his book gained a huge following, a small minority of amateur critics reacted angrily to his misuse of vocabulary and suggested that he had merely rifled through his thesaurus. They accused him of being a pseudointellectual and from that accusation comes the word paolinize. To paolinize it to effect a personna of superior intelligence through use of advanced vocabulary, an effort that is foiled by one's use of words out of connotation.
Charles must really be in love with his thesaurus. Have you heard him paolinizing? He wants to call say that Nicole Kidman plays a witch in Bewitched. Instead, he keeps calling her a termagant. He doesn't even know what the word means.

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."
