An ancient building, place of significance, or realm, that is overseen by magical or powerful beings. These beings may have varying degrees of control within their releam, but are often noted as powerful within their domain.
The first used recorded instance of "releam" was in The Toronto Star, in reference to traditional folklore. Not widely used, and only rarely heard in select regions of Canada, including Quebec, Northern Ontario, Halifax, Southern Manitoba, and The Yukon.

The word "Releam" was subjected to a study into Canadian English and it's roots by the University of Ottawa in 2019, and additional information, history, along with other rare Canadian words can be found on their study.
"You best be careful, That old hollow is said to be the releam of the Picton Witch."
"Challenging a Wizard in his releam is sure to end poorly."
"You have no power outside your releam! Begone, before we make you leave!"

release the penguins 

1. To seriously fuck up

2. To act quickly without thought.

This phrase began during the Great Smoky Mountain wildfires of November, 2016. The Ripley’s Aquarium in Galtlinburg, TN was in danger of catching on fire and the community was concerned about the welfare of the animals inside the establishment. During the fire, a small group of online-self-proclaimed-animal-experts strongly suggested that the penguins be released out into the wild for safety. Seriously, think about that for a minute – the penguins should be released into a forest fire to take care of themselves – can you picture how that would really work? How long would a penguin last in a forest fire?
"Wow, I can’t believe that I stabbed myself in the eye with a fork, I really released the penguins on that one. "

"Look, this is important – so, don’t release the penguins."

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."
