Be cool, collected, don’t panic, don’t worry be happy, life is good, things will get better (for example the up and down of dating, work politics, financing issues, personal or group dilemmas, etc.)

Originating from pop singer/songwriter JJMAX’s song “Keep Your Lettuce Tight” released in 2018. JJMAX’s lyrics specifically describe the craziness of dating, but the phrase is used for many situations.

Tom: Hey Noah, what’s wrong?
Noah: My boss is mean and my dog is sick.
Tom: Keep your lettuce tight dude, everything will be okay!

Whale

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."
