The word literally is ok to use literally whenever and wherever possible. It's best if there are no elements of the statement that can be taken figuratively...literally. (e.g. "my dad literally played with my two dogs")
2. Cannibalize
This term can be responsibly used to reference taking apart anything...you don't even have to be consuming the corpse of a member of your own species. (e.g. "we'll just cannibalize ground timmer")( bonus example..."i'll just cannibalize that vacuum)
3. Misnomer
It's just another word for misconception, mistake or problem. Heck he'd probably even use it for misname if he got the chance. (e.g. "we've got a big misnomer on our hands gentlemen")
4. Sergio, did you get with Mercy on those mattresses?
Self-explanatory...and of course out of context, but still merits mention.
5. Worked for 100+ years
The man has worked 3 factory jobs for eight years each, JCPenney security, the military (instructor, soldier, musician various branches), construction worker, Catholic school janitor, security consultant and of course Calvin College building services supervisor...there are more, I just can't remember them all. (this just in...following Calvin, he could be doing some cattle ranching down in Texas)
6. Repelling
He always repelled out of helicopters for his sniper jaunts with his 70 lb rifle, never once did he rapel like normal people.
7. Beaner, bitch
It's ok for supervisors or anyone to refer to people from Mexico as 'beaners' and female workers as bitches.
8. Cattle prods
He gives them to his babysitters...for protection.
9. Lisa, Shay-Wen, Leia
There were never people named Lisa, Shay-Wen or Leia on the crew this summer...way to be good sports Alisa, Chia-Wen and Leah.
10. Jeez o' Pete
The misnomer here is that he combined two common exclamatory phrases. Literally.
