Replicide.
The act of murdering one's own clone or magical or scientifically created duplicate. (ex: Thomas Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation is created in a transporter accident.) Falling somewhere on the moral ambiguity scale between murder and suicide, most legal systems do not have a consistent precedent in place for determining whether or not this action is criminal or self-determination.

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.
