Avada Kedavra 

*SPOILERS*
The Killing Curse, one of the three Unforgivable Curses from the Harry Potter series. Anybody caught performing or attempting an Unforgivable Curse will be sent to Azkaban Prison for life. The result of being struck by Avada Kedavra is instant death for no biological reason. Harry is the only person who's ever survived the spell, escaping with merely a lighting bolt-shaped scar on his forehead. Harry's mother Lily Potter died defending him from Lord Voldemort, and established a protection spell powered by the love for her child, and caused the curse to rebound upon Voldemort, leaving the scar behind on Harry. This love spell continues to protect Harry so long as he remains at Number 4 Privet Drive under his Aunt's care (because she is the only other blood relative of Lily who's still alive besides Harry) until he reaches adulthood (17). The protection keeps Voldemort from entering the house, and disables him from touching Harry without feeling excruciating pain. The skin protection is diminished when Voldemort is revived with Harry's Blood in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but the house barrier still keeps Voldemort out afterwards.
Voldemort's body was destroyed by his own wand's Avada Kedavra when he attempted to kill Harry the first time. He remained alive in spirit alone because his soul was split into at least 4 isolated objects hidden in various places significant to Voldemort. These objects containing pieces of Voldemort's soul are called Horcruxes. In order for Voldemort to be truely killed, his Horcruxes must be destroyed before his body.
Harry survived Avada Kedavra again when he stopped the Avada Kedavra with his Expelliarmus (Disarming Charm), and initiated Priori Incantatem (a sequence of events that occurs when two wands with the same magical source are forced to duel eachother. Harry's and Voldemort's wands shared feathers from the same phoenix, Fawkes. The wands are referred to as "brothers").
The only other known way to defend yourself from Avada Kedavra (besides the protection of love and wands sharing a core) is to escape from it somehow, either by dodging it or hiding behind a solid object.
From far away, above his head, Harry heard a high, cold voice say, "Kill the spare."
A swishing noise and a second voice, which screeched the words to the night: "Avada Kedavra!"
A blast of green light blazed through Harry's eyelids, and he heard something heavy fall to the ground beside him.
Cedric was lying spread-eagled on the ground beside him. He was dead.
For a second that contained an eternity, Harry stared into Cedric's face, at his open grey eyes, blank and expressionless as the windows of a deserted house, at his half-open mouth, which looked slightly surprised.

Avada Kedavra 

One of the 3 'Unforgivable Curses' from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling.

It is the curse that kills anything and there is no defence to it, yet Harry survived it bearing nothing but a Lightining Bolt scar.

Possile from arabic(?) "abra kadabra" meaning "Let the thing be destroyed!"
"Avada Kedavra!" screamed Voldemort as a bright green light filled the room and a body fell at his feet.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

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."
