No, I'm not considering the comparative reality of "blow job" versus "playing the skin flute".

Carlin has the secret superpower to see through bullshit.
And you posted this on his 71st birthday, did you know that? Long live George Carlin!

I can see that *nods*
But just to check: suggesting you need to 'talk' with a team mate is still fine right?

Yup, no problem with that!
It's fun to think of a lot of Jack's lines as witty euphemisms, e.g., "working with Ianto", "Weevil hunting with Ianto", "going over records with Ianto".

"hunt the Weevil" sounds more fun than 'hunt the thimble'

I'm sure Jack and Ianto can make it a lot of fun. Innovative, too.
