CoD Syndrome 

The act of constantly backing away from enemies after killing them in a first person shooter, thinking they have the Call of Duty 4 and or Call of Duty World at War perk, Martyrdom enabled. This paranoia of live grenades being dropped with every kill carries into other first person shooters, like Halo, even though they do NOT have Martyrdom.
"Ive played too much Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty World at War that I got CoD Syndrome. So now when i try to play Halo, i think everybody has martyrdom, so i back away from them after i get the kill!"

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."
