Jason Newsted 

Second bassist for the band, Metallica. The band recruited him in late 1986 after the tragic death of former legendary bass player, Cliff Burton. His first album with the band was the EP, Garage Days Revisited, but his first full studio album was ...And Justice For All.

Newsted pretty much got a bad wrap because he wasn't as good as Burton. If you really listen to his bass pieces, however, it's not hard to find that he is clearly among the best bass players in the world.

In 2000, Newsted left the band for what he claimed were personal injuries he sustained while touring with Metallica. He later admitted, however, that he wanted the band to take a break for one year while he worked on his side project, Echobrainand the other band members sorted out their personal lives. Frontman James Hetfield declined the proposition and Newsted stepped down as Metallica's bass player after 14 years. Following the release of their 8th studio album, St. Anger, the band selected Ozzy Osbourne's bassist, Rob Trujillo, to replace Newsted.

Unlike previous members, such as Dave Mustaine and Ron McGovney, Newsted does not hold hard feelings towards the band and remains close friends with each member.

As of 2007, Newsted is the bassist for the band, Supernova, in which a television series somewhat equivalent to American Idol selected the lead singer of the band.
Stupid Metallica Fan: Jason Newsted sucks! He isn't anywhere near as good as Cliff Burton was.

Intelligent Metallica Fan: No he doesn't. That's like saying Kirk Hammett sucks because he isn't as good as Hendrix.

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."
