*800 Lb. Gorilla, business term. A huge entity in a specific industry or sphere of activity. A seemingly unbeatable presence always to be reckoned with; whose experience, influence, and skill threatens to defeat competitors with little effort. Origin is from the old joke "What does an 800-pound gorilla eat? ....Anything it wants to!" In the software industry, Microsoft would be considered the 800-pound gorilla. Used often to describe companies in specific niche industries. For example, Poolandspa.com would be considered an 800-pound gorilla in the online pool & spa industry.
