tackymeter 

Not to be confused with its kissing cousins tachymeter (measures distance) and tachometer (measures engine-speed), this GPS-oriented dashboard-mounted instrument informs you of how tacky your vehicle will appear to other humans in your current locale.
Depending on the predominant type of folks in a given area, your insipid-styled '86 Pontiac 6000 sedan could be judged as "tacky" or "rad". Portable tackymeters are also available for wearing on your belt or slipping into your pocket if you are simply on foot instead of driving, so that you can know how favorably your attire or physical appearance will "sit" with the majority of the locals.

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."
