In any "plant the bomb in the enemy base" type gametype such as Sabotage in an online multiplayer 1st person shooter, in this case Call of Duty 4, botany is the act of running into enemy territory and heroically planting the bomb while under enemy fire ("Planting" the Bomb, thus Botany).

There is a certain amount of skill involved in this endeavor, and only the most skillful Botanists can achieve the highest title of the field, Grandmaster of Botany.
The Masters of the Botanical Arts (Botany) are able to slip in with a well-placed smoke grenade and arm the bomb with the entire enemy team still alive, avoiding a barrage of bullets and most likely an air strike right on top of the target. They then proceed to protect their "plant" and will most likely die in the bomb explosion, presumably taking a few of the opposition with him.

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."
