Someone who is instructed to keep a watchful eye for popo and intruders, while someone or a group engages in illicit activity. Whenever a lookout spots popo or intruders they are required to warn others verbally or physically. Lookouts will typically engage in ordinary behavoir, such as pretending to talk on a cell phone or smoke a cigarette to appear to be occupied and allow them to be watchful at the same time.

There may also be another lookout from a distance watching the main lookout in the case that body gesture or hand movements are used as a warning. This method is preferred in a noisy environment where a verbal signal may not be picked up.
Jon, were gonna case this joint, you be the lookout while we take care of business

spellcheck-lockout

When a person publishes a piece of writing with a spelling error in it that he/she cannot change. Happens after writing has been submitted, and the person realizes that the error will be there for an eternity. The spelling error will be a crack in a perfectly sculpted piece of art, but however fantastic the art is people will only notice the spelling error. Such events drive the creator straight up the crazy tree, and they also drive the viewer into a region I like to call spellcheck-lockoutville, also known as the cookoo corner.
1. The spellcheck-lockout forced me to come to terms with the fact that my English essay entitled "Words of the English Language" wasn't going to be worth shit.

2. Right after I published my 856 page autobiography about my life I realized i had spelled automobile, autamobile. I cried for 3.5 months when I realized that there wasn't a damn thing I could do about my spellcheck-lockout. Now whenever I encounter another human life they say, "Autamobile Tyler? Really? There's a fucking o after the t you stupid piece a shit. What the fuck were you thinking?"
And I can only reply," I messed up, and I will never let it happen again for as long as I live."
They then reply, "Well you truly fucked up the word automobile, so Im gonna make sure this is a promise you'll be able to keep dirtbag."
Next they take out a plasma sword and just go to fucking town on my stomach and neck.

Squat Lockouts 

The baddest lift in the fucking gym. Load up a barbell with every plate in the gym and lift that thing about 2 inch out of the squat rack. Stand there like a boss then put it back down. Repeat. This lift can be used to replace squats, deadlift and bench, as they will no longer be required when you unleash the awesomeness of Squat Lockouts. Also, this lift causes the heads of fuckwits to explode clear off their shoulders.
a: Why is this bar bent as fuck?
b: Oh some total badass motherfucker was doing squat lockouts with every plate in the joint and destroyed that shit.
a: *head literally explodes*

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."
