Re: Gamer euphemisms
That seems like one of those social subtleties that depend entirely on the specific people interacting.
Some gamers may unintentionally use the GM's answers as a crutch forgetting to focus on their character and RP-ing. I can see myself falling into that trap, so am not one to judge.

"Gentlemen of negotiable morality" - a typical adventuring party.

Re: Gamer euphemisms
In the right contest, "legitimate ethnic businessman" for an Italian / Serbian / Haitian / etc. organised crime boss.
(In the Crimson Skies campaign I think we had "he's out at a meeting of the Legitimate Ethnic Businessmen's Association" = he's off dealing with his fellow crime bosses.)

Re: Gamer euphemisms
"Violated the integrity of his chemsuit" - comprehensively shot.
This one comes from a Shadowrun campaign, where a street samurai who didn't have much biology left had taken to wearing a "chemsuit" NBC coverall all the time. He hadn't got the senses to feel it was uncomfortable, and I suspect he may have been short of immune system too. He was gunned down by a heavy machinegun - I no longer understand the Shadowrun damage system - but the thing the player was worried about was if his chemsuit was still sealed.
