5th Street in downtown Los Angeles - a place where many homeless hang out. The song 'On The Nickel' was written for the made-for-TV movie "On The Nickel" by Ralph Waite. "The Nickel" is a mission located on 5th street. It seems that anyone "on the nickel" would be someone down and out with no place to go.

"And what becomes of all the little boys who never comb their hair? They're lined up all around the block on the nickle over there." - Tom Waits from the song "On the Nickle" (Heart Attack and Vine)

Nicklebomb

(v) The act of playing multiple Nickleback songs, back to back, on a jukebox before exiting an establishment.

Typically done to an establishment with poor service and a bad crowd. Works best on an internet jukebox with the "Play Next" option.

The bartender was a dick and the place was full of hipsters so I paid my tab, dropped a $10 in the jukebox and Nicklebombed the fuck outta that bar.

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."
