a sucker punch, especially one that knocks somebody out cold.

It's also a Merle Haggard if your friend pretends to check on the unconscious victim and instead starts delivering a fury of vicious blows to the already injured person.

Inspired by the true story of a bar room brawl involving Merle Haggard, his first wife, a bandmate, and a really big, bad, mean fellow.

I didn't have a chance against that huge goon, so I played it cool until he turned his back on me, then I gave that sorry motherfucker a Merle Haggard like he's never seen. Then my friend gave him a Merle Haggard after he was already knocked out cold.

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.

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."
