slackstake 

A slackstake describes what happens when you go to write something on Slack, typically making use of an extension, app, or integration particular to that technology (like inserting a relevant Giphy) that doesn't turn out exactly as planned or intended.

Examples include wanting to send a Giphy that illustrates your point but then sending a Giphy that doesn't really make sense or increases confusion. Similarly, going to type the correct keyboard shorthand to generate a desired emoji, but not typing it correctly and hitting send too quickly so that it doesn't generate the emoji but just sends the jumble of symbols.

Slackstakes typically occur as a result of typos and being too quick with the keyboard, but the term can also extend to doing things like DMing the wrong person, including someone in a group DM or channel that shouldn't be there, or really just committing any mistake in Slack that is iconic of and/or ironic for the medium of communication.

The word is a sandwich of "Slack" and "Mistake".
"Oh Becky pulled the funniest slackstake yesterday when she sent Brian a Giphy of a Beluga Whale when she was telling him how much she loves Orcas and how she knows everything about them. Didn't even know she sent the wrong whale until we pointed it out!"

"Oh yeah, John got fired because he sent Maria a promiscuous set of emojis via Slack. Granted, it was not during business hours, but that's still a huge slackstake, if you know what I mean."

skanksta 

This is a promiscuous young woman or girl that dresses like a skank. However, she also attempts to be gangsta by dressing in clothing she believes is both ‘sexy’ and gangsta at the same time. This would mean labels such as Ecko Red, and many different Pepe jean jumpsuits. She is usually black, but she can also be white trash. They often speak with heavy gangsta accents, and pout their lips in an odd sort of scowl.

What the hell is going on here?
'And then she said, 'you messin wit hurr, you messin wit meh' in that skanksta accent of hers'

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."
