Lever up 

Financing a firm’s acquisition with a significant amount of debt. A firm typically issues term loans and junk bonds to drive IRRs for their private equity overlords (due to tax-deductibility of interest).

Outside of its native LBO context, to ‘lever up’ refers to the act of getting rekt and fully sending it.
Ex.1: “Blackstone is about to lever up that company’s balance sheet to 6.9x LTM Adj EBITDA. They’re underwriting to a 42.0% net IRR”

Ex.2: “Yo Tucker was levered up last night and stage dived from the DJ booth right into some chick’s VIP table. He then called the bouncer a back-office jabroni as he was dragged out”

Lever-Puller 

A Blast Hole Drill operator who thinks they know what blast hole drilling is about but don't have a clue FIGJAM!
A lever-Puller will start their day in the usual fashion of conducting no pre-operation inspection (Why do that when your cross shift can)? Starting the Drill Rig and cranking the Rotation and Pulldown pressures to the max no matter the strata being drilled or the consumables operational limits or ratings. A lever puller wont check the holes they have drilled for accuracy or re-drills, they will book phantom holes to make them seem like a more productive driller. A lever puller always damages equipment with a who gives a rats attitude. A lever puller has the ability to infect a whole crew of productive workers with their shithouse attitudes and lack of work ethic. A Lever Puller holds themselves in high esteem often crowing about large meterages achieved on the drill FIGJAM Fuck Im Good Just Ask Me, without going into other details of what their job is supposed to entail like looking after the drill and checking holes. Lever pullers like to leave shit for other operators too, like changing out a flogged out drill bit, dirty operator cabins or a bent drill pipe. Lever pullers should be sacked at the earliest convenience or transferred to toilet cleaning duties.
