1. Spending a copious amount of time (that can usually be spent doing something that is generally considered more productive) browsing and learning odd bits of trivia from www.wikipedia.org. *Wikiing can also be used if you are referring to adding a new Wikipedia entry or modifying a current one.

2. While www.wikipedia.org is the website that originated the word, wikiing can also be used if a user is utilizing other web-based wikis.

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."
