Ghettophile 

A woman who only dates the biggest piece of shit bums from the shittiest possible neighborhoods with the most possible baby mommas and longest possible criminal record, typically letting him sponge off her while he openly sells nickel bags of the poorest quality drugs out of her home.

Or it’s a guy who’s a hopeless romantic and tries turning a hoodrat into a housewife, and is completely oblivious to her whorish behavior when he isn’t around.
The thing that both types of ghettophiles have in common, they’re just being used by the other for the sexual and/or financial gain. And when the ghettophile has nothing left to give them, they’re gone faster than a plate of bacon in front of a starving cannibalistic pig.

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."
