A reciprocal beneficiary is a type of legal arrangement that is offered in some states, such as Hawaii, whereby two non-married people can assign some, but not all, of the rights of married couples to one another.

John and Matt were a gay couple in Hawaii, but could not legally marry each other or form a civil union/domestic partnership. So Matt designated John as his reciprocal beneficiary to at least get a few rights.

Secondary Beneficiary

When someone orders food that's shareable but meant for only that one person, moochers who want some part/portion for themselves call "secondary beneficiary" like one would call "shotgun" to claim a seat in a vehicle, when preparing for a ride. Roommates, friends, and family are notorious for such moochery.

Christine ordered a pizza for herself and tried to keep quiet about it. As soon as it arrived at her house, her little brother called secondary beneficiary.

Beneficiary cookbook

An unhealthy eating cookbook for people who want to see their inheritance sooner so they feed their relatives food from such cookbook. Meant to be a joke but very insensitive and sickening.

John: I can't stand your mother. She says all these racist terms for Jewish people or Black people and calls people out when she sits on the porch. Totally embarrassing.

Sally: Yes I know. Regardless, I want to take care of her.

John: I know. You're a good daughter but perhaps it would be best if we would feed her from the beneficiary cookbook.

Sally: What the hell? That's my mother you're talking about, you asshole.

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.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...
Steve: I'd like to roll a strength check against strangling the orphan.
Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

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."
