A generic term for any virtual currency required to purchase online content through a videogame console, often designed with intentionally confusing exchange rates from the local currency.

The term originates from the 1980's cult-classic Spaceballs. First public use of this definition was by Crispin Boyer on Episode 83 of gaming vodcast, The 1up Show.

"Yea, Pacman CE is a little pricey at 800 Spacebucks, I could rent Black Snake Moan in HD for half that."

Comma Spacebar

Comma Spacebar is a mythical creature who is believed to dwell in northern Alabama. Sightings of Comma Spacebar have been rare, but most frequently take place in the northeastern corner of the state, with Fort Payne seeming to be the hotspot. This mythical creature is not entirely benevolent or malevolent as encounters have been pleasant for some and not so pleasant for others. No deaths have been attributed to comma spacebar. The creature is humanoid in form, slightly orange in tint, and has a deep interest in minute details involving human life. Comma Spacebar is very much a loner creature and will usually run when spotted. If provoked, he will stand his ground, but will usually not attack or cause injury. If a sighting occurs, it's best to make some noise and stand as still as possible.

Timothy: Dude! I went camping last night at Desoto State Park and I saw Comma Spacebar!
Daniel: Hahahaha, Comma Spacebar isn't even real. It's just a legend man. You probably saw a bear.
Timothy: I'm gonna punch you in the face Daniel, I know what I freaking saw!

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."
