A poser is a girl/guy who listens to a certain type of music or dresses a certain way to impress people or to fit into a certain crowd. often times people get mixed up with those who are posers and those who are not. If you go out buy a sk8r-boi sweatshirt and a skate board and go out on the town and ride around and some one shouts out " fucking poser" are you one ? NO! Come on people..you went out and bought the skateboard so you could...erm GET BETTER! Seriously how are you ever going to become a skateboarder if you dont practice and get better? *cough exactly* now in a different situation. Lets say you go out buy a skateboard...by the way you dont even know the brand of the board and you go out with your friends and just sit there while they do there little skateboarding tricks ... so basically you are just there to look cool..then are you a poser. Yah? yes!

Alright, where shall I start? Hmm.. A poser is someone who tries to fit in with a certain crowds, or masks who they really are to fit in.
You shouldn't have to do this to be accepted.
I mean, don't say you skateboard when one, you have no idea how to in the first place, and two, you could get yourself into a conversation about skateboarding where you don't know what the hell you're even talking about.
I mean, why should it matter what crowd you fit into?
If you're naturally a scene kid, go ahead, keep on being scene. We like it.
If you're naturally a prep, be a prep. Who gives a flying leap?
If you're a prep, and you like a scene kid and you feel you have to change yourself so that they'll notice you, don't. They won't like it, and you won't like it. Besides, who knows? They may just like you for the way you are.

Ohh, and just because someone listens to Good Charlotte, doesn't mean that they're a poser. They just like them.

If a situation arises where you hear that someone likes Good Charlotte, talk to them. See if they like any other bands. Who knows? They could like A Cursive Memory or The Dreseden Dolls just as much.
..BUT, if they say, "Ohh yeah, Good Charlotte is like, so punk.", you have my permission to kick the shit out of them.

Good Charlotte is not punk, mmkay pumpkins?
but just because some people like them doesn't mean they're posers.

posester 

Pronounced POSE-ster. What hipsters really are. Though they put on the airs of being members of the illuminati (see the definition of hipster in Urban Dictionary), they are really just clones, wearing a uniform that is no different that any other, expresses no individuality, and is screaming hypocrisy. They have taken over previously cool neighborhoods like the Mission District in San Francisco. Though their clothing appears from a thrift shop, it is really from a 'vintage' clothing store, at best, or an over-priced chic shop trafficking in poser wear. Though they want to appear free thinking, they gravitate toward sameness. Their obsession with the latest e-gadgetry exemplifies their vacuous nature. Though they claim to be into a simple existence, they have driven up the cost of housing in previously cool urban areas. Though they work in Silicon Valley or similar areas, they 'reverse commute' in plush e-busses FROM the City. They are the same as preppy yuppies from the early 80's, just a different uniform, so their hypocritical nature makes them 'posesters.'
I really miss living in the City. So much to do, nooks and crannies, just a great mix of all kinds of folks.

Ya, me, too. But I had to leave, it has really changed. The posesters have taken over. Even the Mission. It's like Cow Hollow now, just in drab.

No . . . !!!!

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."
