“Pips was playing excellent! I can’t believe this idiot coach decided to pull a Philbin, putting him on the bench in the middle of a tie game and throwing in a cold goalie from the bench. Jesus Christ they just scored on the next two shots!”

When you do not allow your players to skate across the blue line with the puck and force them to play dump and chase. Also, no one is allowed to pass to the point even if they are wide open.
The points are wide open and they are not passing to them? They are forced in playing a Philbin.

Jesus, that player just dumped the puck on a breakaway? The coach is forcing them to pull a Philbin!

Philbin’s are real wacky. Gotta watch out for them late night stealing your clams and your girl. Can usually catch them in the wild at their favorite dining spot hillstone eating all of the artichoke’s so no one else can. You’ll know someone is a philbin if they have a great bit going and are constantly taking pictures of their meal for their finstagram account. Might also have an expired passport and car with a boot on it on any given day of the week.
Any extra clams?

Nah mate, a philbin came here 10 minutes ago

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."
