Styrofoam Scot

A Styrofoam Scot or a “Styro” is a person usually (but not always) from the USA or Canada who is overly obsessed with Scotland and their Scottish heritage. They confuse heritage with nationality and claim to be a Scot themselves without ever living in Scotland, experiencing a Scottish upbringing or the culture firsthand.
Many Styrofoam Scots romanticise Scotland and base their view of the nation around popular media that does not represent modern day life such as the series Outlander or the movie Braveheart.

Common actions of Styrofoam Scots include wearing ill fitting “kilts”, bragging about their high percentage of Scottish DNA from an Ancestry test or getting a tattoo of a cheesy quote written in poorly translated Gàidhlig.

Harmful behaviour carried out by Styrofoam Scots include claiming to be more Scottish than people who live within the country due to race or DNA, explaining Scottish issues to Scots in a condescending manner and completely taking over Scots Wikipedia. The latter causing extreme damage to the Scots language due to thousands of articles written in unintelligible Scots by an American born Styrofoam.

Online behaviour includes Styros referring to the Scottish people as “Scotch” or “Scotts” and scolding Scottish nationals for their colourful language and rough sense of humour. After “getting telt” and having the complete piss ripped out of them by real Scots they are often severely offended and proceed to throw a tantrum or fall into a “Styro Sulk”.
“Aw naw a Styrofoam Scot made liquified stovies. It’s pure geein me the boak!”

“Shut up Ron. No one cares about your 23 and me results. You’re nothing but a styro!”

“Check the nick o’ that Styrofoam’s kilt!”
“That’s no even a kilt. It’s a fuckin skirt Greg!”

“Did ye hear aboot thit Styro basturt. Pure fucked up the Scots Wiki. A cannae understun any of the pish he’s wrote!”

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."
