Kismesis
This is a mash-up of the words 'Kismet' meaning 'fated' or 'destined' and 'Nemesis', which i hope we all know means 'rival' etc
so together, a Kismesis, (or plural, as in 'a pair of Kismeses' taking after the plural of nemesis) is your fated rival; or even, some would say, your Serendipitous Rival. Kismessitude is also sometimes called 'Black Romance' or 'Caliginous Romance' (calidinous meaning misty, dim; obscure, dark) in that it is dark and hateful, so lets not forget the romantic aspect, as in competing with someone so often, tensions run high... including sexual tension (eyebrow-wiggle)
now that you know what a Kismesis is, go get your black-mack on
Antithesis: Matesprit

Kismesis
A hate soulmate.
A (healthy) kismesissitude is a fully consensual, well grounded, romantic relationship; but it equally compromises the emotions of love and hate.
The feelings of hate spring from a need and compelling desire to rival the other person, to try and have a sort of healthy competition through them without life that will build both of you up and strengthen you both.
Not everyone you hate or dislike is your kismesis. Feelings like this should be carefully examined and meditated upon. A kismesis is not just merely someone you hate, it is your hate soulmate. A kismesissitude isn't purely hate, as that would be REALLY fucking unhealthy for any relationship. There is an aspect, a very strong one, of love and gentleness involved too. When not bickering or trying to toughen each other up, kismesis pairs genuinely care for each other. Healthy couples will try to strengthen and give the other attention and acceptance, building each other up.
Often, kismesissitudes have a sexual element to them. On the other hand, the sexual aspect doesn't have to exist at all - just as with any relationship. There are also your more romantic moments with your kismesis. But, these tender moments aren't as common as they are in romantic relationships, or it wouldn't be a kismesissitude. The sparing amount of these moments is what makes the couple greatly appreciate and value them more.

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.
