Yubbish (Yuppie Rubbish) is best described as the discarded, but often useful and/or tasteful items from mid-upper and upper class homes.

Apparently the best times to find yubbish is just prior to local council 'hard rubbish' collection weeks, where nature-strips suddenly fill up with all manner of discarded items, from broken vases to audio/visual equipment.
"Man I was cruising through Toorak the other week when I scored this awesome yubbish CD Player!"

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."
