Train Whistle 

Train Whistle — the new “dog whistle”. The current idiom “saying the quiet part out loud” points to the idea that a new term must be used to discuss impolite political discourse. Dogs can her at a frequency that humans cannot; so, the old idiom “dog whistle” pointed to a subtle statement.

Well, in 2023, both irony and subtlety are dead hence the new term “Train Whistle. If you can’t hear you are deaf.
Visiting insurrection prisoners on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the Waco Texas standoff; scheduling a Republican Presidential rally in Waco Texas on the anniversary; and Trump’s proclamation that he is “THE RETRIBUTION” of the Republican Party and MAGA; Trump’s threatening doom and destruction if indicted — this — collectively — isn’t a dog whistle it’s a Train Whistle.

It’s in your face; and, there is no more “quite part” to say out loud. IT’S ALL OUT LOUD IN THE RANGE OF HUMAN HEARING!!!!!!

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."
