Acme

Coyote's mail-order supplier

Acme is the highest point or peak of something—the point of greatest achievement or perfection: She reached the acme of her career.

The word appears ironically in the fictional Acme Corporation, supplier of absurd gadgets in Road Runner cartoons, where products consistently fail despite the name's promise of excellence.
