"You think this one's big? My next patient weighs twice this much!"
"I can't ventilate this guy. Trach him!" (I said that a few months ago. Guy did OK)
"Get the crash cart in here NOW!"
These are things that are actually said in ORs from time to time.
Your examples - not so much. Pretty much everything that comes out a patient goes to pathology. Scalpel blades routinely get dull, and are easily replaced with fresh, sharp blades. Especially in plastic surgery cases. Scissors also get dull and have to be sharpened. We can all identify the liver, but a lot of time in surgery IS actually spent identifying other things, like nerves and blood vessels, so they aren't accidently damaged.
There is also a lot of gossip and foul language in many ORs. The thing I like to hear least is some idiot surgeon's intimate details about his sex life. Puh-leeese.

There are so many things that sound unpleasant to the ears while in the surgery room, however anyone who works in there are alredy get used to hearing them.
As I remember, there was a thing I never wanted to hear: "When the surgeon says: I cannot hold anymore, someone relieve my place please,I have a very urgent need - CR".
OH NO, UNSCRUB and again needs to SCRUB after he is "relieved", another delay! -Very rare to hear such though.

One thing i actually did hear in a hospital was
"don't let the family know he died here, just tell them it was on the way to the hospital"
i was in the resuscitation department when i heard this and i was mortified!!

(Doctor-D Nurse-N)
D-"Somebody call the hospital! We are losing him!"
N-"But we are the hospital."
D-"We are? I don't know how to do this!"
N-"Let's just get to the surgery."
D- "OK. What type of surgery?"
N- "Open Heart."
5 minutes later.......
(Crashing noise)
N- " Doctor wake up!!!"
N- "Uh-oh, he's unconsious."
Patient- "Groan................is my surgery over?"
N- " Great, the doctor is unconsious and the patient IS consious!"

He!He! That`s funny!
I think that if you will hear something like:
"My mobile phone is ringing...where is it?Hmm...Darn...we have to cut him once more!"....that`s something wrong :D
