A term originally coined by SPC Groth while deployed in eastern Afghanistan. He used the term to describe a soldier who was covered in his own blood and tears. It then caught on to most of the camp in the following weeks. Songs were written about it, etc.

LT - Has anyone seen Wheeler?
Groth - Yea, he's up that staircase. He's bleeding out and crying; it's a real hero's mess up there.

(The name above, 'Wheeler' has been changed from the original name of the soldier)

Mess with one’s desires

When you use someone’s desires to make them feel incompetent or worthless

If you tell someone that they won’t get something they want if they’re unable to do something and it makes them feel incompetent as a result then you would, in short, mess with one’s desires

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.

"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."
