Steamoticon 

Shorthand for the tradeable, game-themed emoticons added to Valve's Steam PC game delivery service along with Steam Trading Cards. Many aren't "emoticons" in the traditional sense; rather, they are just little icons related to a game's theme. Their relative uselessness in this sense can lead to "Steamoticon spam" - the practice of popping a couple Steamoticons at the end of every post a player makes, probably unrelated to the post itself. As "items", Steam users can display them in galleries on their profiles as well, though, so the less emotive icons are of some practical value.
"I can't believe you paid $3 for that Binding of Isaac *poop* Steamoticon. Are you crazy?!"
"Omg I know you love the Companion Cube, but do you have to end ever single post you make with that Steamoticon?"

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."
