user-power 

The empowerment of users in an online environment like www.urbandictionary.com. It is what appeals to a user when he/she acts as part of a community consensus and is given the right to approve, veto or comment on what constitutes that environment.
It would be most unwise to underestimate the addictive nature of user-power, not least of all for its revolutionary potential.

Discord Power User 

Commonly found with four or more Discord badges, these users seem to think they are the ideal users of Discord, while treating others as inferiors. These users often have a concerning interest in anthropomorphic characters; where said characters manifest themselves in the day to day activity of a power user. Power users always have an active Nitro subscription, which is most likely set to auto-bill at monthly intervals. A power user's profile most likely contains an image or reference to a fictitious anthropomorphic character, while containing a biography which includes the power user's pronouns, neo-pronouns, their exaggerated moderation experience, and various useless tidbits that are heavily frowned upon by the general Discord userbase. While pretending to be oblivious, power users are generally aware of their "popularity" among the platform. The average power user will usually make the facetious claim that "badges are irrelevant and do not matter", while ironically displaying their numerous profile badges. It is advised to avoid interactions with a power user at all cost. If left with no choice, approach a power user with understanding, liberalism, and an intense knowledge of the Discord moderation program.
Jim: Dude! You got so many badges!! How did you get them all?

Bob: That mod is such a discord power user tbh

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."
