John McClane 

vest: aka tank top t-shirt: aka wife-beater.
Usually seen because McClane gets so beat up throughout the course of the movie any regular shirt he is wearing at the beginning gets too mangled to wear by halfway through the movie.

John McCane 

John McCain is more like John McCane: a fiesty, old, very white guy with a chip on his shoulder and some very scarey ideas. He reminds me of my grandfather when he's off his meds.

President? No way! That ship sailed in 2000...and sunk.
John McCain has become John McCane: grumpy, old and wild-eyed.

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...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

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."
