acme
Highest possible point
Acme is the highest point or peak of achievement—the culmination of development or success: at the acme of her career, the acme of luxury.
The word appears most famously as the fictional corporation in Road Runner cartoons, whose products inevitably malfunction.
Outside that comic context, acme belongs to formal or literary registers.
