Ctrl-z

kill -9 pid

Alternative:

Ctrl-z  
kill -9 %1   # Shell keeps track of job pids for you, job 1 is %1, job 2 is %2, etc
fg  # Not technically necessary, but it's fun to see the corpse

killall vim

Reminds me of the time I brought down a whole AIX server with the killall command back in the 1990s.

On AIX killall really means kill every single process.
