When I was a youngster in the Army Cadets in Australia I was told by one of the regular Army seargeants that no one in his company was ever “lost”. They could be “temporarily spatially displaced” but getting lost was strictly forbidden.

I like how in Kerbal Space Program, you don't crash, you "lithobrake". Like airbraking only on something with a bit more resistance.

I had a science teacher who would kill mice before feeding them to his snake. His method was "rapid deceleration" (he threw them at the ground).

Our science teacher in the 7th grade made a model coliseum out of foam-core and would release crickets into it for her lizards to eat during homeroom

More Air Force jargon, every now and then something on the plane had to be malletized.
