Elf on the Shelf 

An Elf on the Shelf is an elf said to be sent by Santa, or from the North Pole, at least. They are said to watch kids be good during December, and report back to Santa if they're not. There are different kinds of elves, and they usually arrive between the day after Thanksgiving and the first week of December, while a kid is between six and eleven years old. They move overnight, often give gifts, and some are very mischievous. They sometimes come with Elf Pets, (either a dog or a reindeer) which stay all year but only move with elves.
"My Elf on the Shelf; Elfie moved into the kitchen last night!" said Clarissa.

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."
