The eternal battle between taxonomic accuracy and colloquial language! While biologists and marine enthusiasts correctly point out that Orcinus orca is the proper scientific name for these magnificent cetaceans, the stubborn part of our brain refuses to abandon the more dramatic "killer whale" moniker. It's like when someone corrects your pronunciation of "nuclear" and you deliberately say "nuke-you-ler" with direct eye contact. The scientific community weeps while the rest of us commit to biological rebellion. These apex predators probably don't care what we call them as they're busy flipping seals 20 feet into the air for fun!
