Sanford & Son syndrome

Sanford & Son syndrome is when a man or a woman is in their 30s and still lives with their parents due to the parents being controlling during childhood and then later depending on the child when the parent becomes of elderly age, and the child does not have much of a social life due to the overbearing parent.

Sanford & Son is a sitcom from the 1970s from 1972-1977, starring Redd Foxx, and Demond Wilson. The characters in the show do not entirely reflect the word and it's definition, however the similarities fit the narrative of the word and it's definition.
Example A: Person A is 34 years old, and still lives with his parents, who treat him like a child/teenager. He knows how to do basic things on his own but he is not allowed any independence due to his strict parents, and since they are now early and depend on their son to care for them in their old age, he feels trapped. Person A is struggling with Sanford & Son syndrome.

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."
