A special type of perseverance displayed by a young pet, especially a dog, marked by a steadfastness in the act of urinating numerous times on its training pad in order to obtain as many rewards as possible such as a meaty treat or bone, despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.

His dachshund's pisseverance illustrates its single-mindedness to get lots of treats. In the course of one day, it drank 10 gallons of water and always held some back each time it pissed so it could turn the next pad yellow at will. Now that's not normal doggedness. That's pisserverance!

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."
