tetelestai
Literally translated the Greek word tetelestai means, “It is finished.” The word occurs in Greek translations of John 19:28 and 19:30 and these are the only two places in the New Testament where it occurs. In 19:28 it is translated, “After this, when Jesus knew that all things were now completed, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, ‘I thirst.’” Two verses later, he utters the word himself: “Then when he received the sour wine Jesus said, ‘It is finished,’ and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
The word tetelestai was also written on business documents or receipts in New Testament times to indicate a bill had been paid in full. The Greek-English lexicon by Moulton and Milligan says this:
“Receipts are often introduced by the phrase sic tetelestai, usually written in an abbreviated manner...” (p. 630). The connection between receipts and what Christ accomplished would have been quite clear to John’s Greek-speaking readership; it would be unmistakable that Jesus Christ had died to pay for their sins.

dude 2: "it's already been paid in full by Jesus man... tetelestai!"

Terelak
A Terelak is someone who is grumpy most of the time. To strangers he seems unapproachable and quite morose. To outsiders watching in, he can seem bored and disorientated. To those who know him, he often dishes out bants left right and centre. Often after a big night out a Terelak will come to work late, unshaven, wearing the same clothes (or a similarly grotty and unironed item) and being even more grumpy than usual. A classic Terelak tactic after such nights is to not wear his jacket, therefore making it look like he's been at his desk and is not actually late.
Terelak's often use vocab no-one understands. It is essential that a dictionary is relied on when talking to a Terelak.

"I did a Terelak last night, lost my keys, my phone, my life!"
"Why is that guy so angry looking?"
"Oh, I wouldn't worry, he's just a Terelak"
