When a film or television character is always remembered for an entirely irrelevant trait.

This trope is named for Sally Acorn from Sonic the Hedgehog who, despite being one of the most plot-developed characters in the comic/show, is only remembered for being naked.

That character is such a Naked Sally!

Single Sally

Single Sally is a man trying to throw a party without any friends. He may frequent bars, nightclubs and gentlemen's clubs for companions to party with.

"Sorry buddy. We only book topless waitresses for parties, no single Sallies. Call us next time you have some friends over."

"That is why this place can no longer be rented for parties unless there are two men willing to be responsible. One man had a party, wrecked the place and he threw up his hands, saying he cannot control his rowdy guests. No matter how high we raised the fee, none of these single Sallys ever cared about losing their security deposit. Only when we made two men give their names for the rental did we start to see manners. One of the two men needed the security deposit more and he would keep his friends in line to get it back. It became a matter of pride, and one friend would not let his so-called friend take advantage of their friendship by losing the deposit. With two names on the line, it diffuses the responsibility and makes it easier for everyone to relax."

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."
