I personally wouldn't use any word like "slay" in the workplace. I think it'd be completely unnecessary.

One would think that “hot strippers” is not acceptable in any technical professional environment. Except there are mechanical devices that strip optical fiber from the jacket/coating. The devices are called strippers. Some of those devices are heating up the coating before removing for the easiness of stripping. Those are hot strippers. And of course, MS Outlook blocks e-mails that have these words.
