• navigate the ends and outs



• using the transporters on mass was not an option

[This Star Trek eggcorn is a favorite because the eggcorn renders the statement not just incorrect, but literally oxymoronic.]


• entire world teamed with secrets



• that rumbled suit...



• working overtime at his non-for-profit organization



• had corked up an eyebrow

[This one is funny for the opposite reason: because burnt cork WAS used as a cosmetic for blackening things historically - although I'm not positive about eyebrows specifically. That's not what they meant, though.]
