Skaught

Proper noun. Intentional mutilation of the traditional name Scott, though homophonous in some regional varieties of North American English due to the linguistic "cot/caught merger". Typically used by overeducated Anglophiles who have little else to distinguish themselves.

He was Scott when I knew him in elementary school, but now that he's gone to college it's Skaught, and we're all supposed to be like, "Ooooh, you're so interesting and deviant!"

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."
