vaudeville

A dead form of entertainment buried with TV as its casket. Back in the days of vaudeville, everyone had a specialty. Certain vaudevillian performers were tumblers. As dead as ska but also it is actually dead and more people like vaudeville than ska.

Vaudeville

Incredibly stupid but funny stuff like hitting a short fat englishman with a pie, telling jokes in a loud voice and the straight man would say something like "I Don't know why do" if you are a young brat you will not remember Bugs Bunny who used a lot of Vaudeville references. Brats with your portable gaming consoles and hair gel!

vaudevillain

Someone who "plays da bad guy" during a multi-act stage-show.
In "Huckleberry Finn", da King and da Duke were both just "regular rapscallions" who were out to cheat their audience-members, and so one could indeed accurately describe them as real "vaudevillains".

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."
