pragmatic do-nothing-ism
The liberal ideology predominant in the US that voting for the Democratic Party will eventually yield progressive results, thus enabling so called progressives to take no action to achieve aforementioned progress.
“I am a socialist, I just don’t think revolution is the way to get what we desperately need. Societal progress will come in time if we can just get more democrats in office”
“No man, you’re wrong, all progress made up until now has been through the efforts of grass root movements. After they put in the hard work and get momentum, the Dems ride in to take credit and gain a new voter base. Your tactic of voting for a dem every four years is pragmatic do-nothing-ism, and is a cop out for you selfishly contributing nothing to progress while complaining that it isn’t coming quick enough.”

Pragmatic Extraphysicalism
Pragmatic Extraphysicalism, also Extraphysical Pragmatism, is an extraphysicalist philosophy that focus more on the practical actions and consequences of extraphysics than in the concepts or theories about that. Pragmatic Extraphdicalism believes that practical actions and the consequences of extraphysics are the best way to know about extraphysics and are the best source of extraphysicalist philosophy often rejecting the idea that extraphysics and extraphysicalism should be only theorized and imagined and not much focused on the practical part of extraphysics.
"Pragmatic Extraphysicalism is really common among people who practice Astral Projection and have spiritual experiences who have more extraphysicalist-like views than simple physicalist or materialist views of spiritual experiences."

Pragmatic Atheist
A pragmatic atheist is someone who actively pursued an understanding of theism by delving into the study of diverse religions and spiritual practices, ultimately arriving at atheism through a methodical process of elimination. Their rejection of theism may be grounded in practical, prudential, or moral considerations. This journey involves critically evaluating religious beliefs and doctrines, weighing evidence, coherence, and ethical implications. For pragmatic atheists, atheism emerges not as a mere rejection born of emotional bias, but rather as a reasoned stance based on thoughtful inquiry and assessment of available knowledge.

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.
