Ragamuffyn

Usually used in an insulting manner towards street children. The word came to mean a person who is shabbily clothed and dirty, often applied to orphans. It was used in this way to describe Kingston ghetto youth, and the youth themselves took on the term to describe their new form of music: Raggamuffin.

The Ragamuffin Gospel 

A book by Brennan Manning that speaks about God's amazing grace and His relentless love for us all.

The Ragamuffin Gospel was written for the bedraggled, beat-up, and burnt-out.
It is for the sorely burdened who are still shifting the heavy suitcase from one hand to the other.

It is for the wobbly and weak-kneed who know they don't have it altogether and are too proud to accept the handout of God's amazing grace.

It is for inconsistent, unsteady disciples whose cheese is falling off their cracker.

It is for poor, weak, sinful men and women with hereditary faults and limited talents.

It is for earthen vessels who shuffle along on feet of clay.

It is for the bent and the bruised who feel that their lives are a grave disappointment to God.

It is for smart people who know they are stupid and honest disciples who admit they are scalawags.

The Ragamuffin Gospel is a book for anyone who has grown weary and discouraged along the Way.

JESUS LOVES YOU

ragamuffin girl 

The perfect girl that was not recognized the ordinary men. She is nice, pretty, they don’t fight, don’t argue. In other words there the nice innocent perfect girl that every guy would want. Only thing is that she was not recognized by the public because of whatever reason.
A very good example would be the song "Ragamuffin Girl" by the Apache Indian. :) If it’s wrong feel free to change it.

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."
