Comment Vulture

A person who will go under another person's comments and try to gain notoriety. This can be either in the form of straight-up self-promotion or trying to sneakily redirect people to their social media. There are many form factors of doing this and a multitude of ways to do this.

Example:

(Person commenting under post): "No cap i make better content then 'insert influencer' and will always!"

Example 2:

Person 1: "I love this video and it relates to me, my mother recently died of cancer and this video helps me cope with it thanks so much"

(Person 2 Reply): "Yo guys i just posted my new song and its the most fire thing you will ever hear!"
That guy is a comment vulture no one respects him and he has no family, friends, or anything to live for in life.

Cancel Vulture 

A cancel vulture is a person who engages in cancel culture. They’re “vultures” as they watch and see for anything offensive made usually by a celebrity several years ago. They then spread this information to their peers and others who engage in cancel culture. These people are usually insecure and lifeless people who want to be a “hero” because they don’t do any real good in this world. They themselves are likely insecure about past mistakes and things they’ve said before, and they want to take it out on others. Or they’re just “woke” virtue signallers. They almost all come from Twitter which is already a total cesspool. These people can’t accept or learn that people change and possibly don’t hold the same views forever.
Jimmy: Hey Tom look, Carl found that (random celebrity) said something racist 9 years ago on Twitter and is now asking people to cancel them
Tom: Damn, Carl is such a Cancel Vulture

Sexual Vulture

Matt: Looks like David is making a move on her

Rob: He's such a sexual vulture

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
