You just reminded me … Before I really got into IT in my career I was at a job that still had a messenger for the internal staff. I set my status message in it to “Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring.”
I got chastised and made to change it, because the message might offend … Skinny elephants, I guess? I never got clarification on that.
Seems weird that you’d sync before terminating and killing processes. I prefer “Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring”. Although some distros only enable the S, U, B/O anyway.

(The manager had no clue what it meant.)

Couldn’t say - I’ve never had the chance to use it. In fact, I’m not sure I ever had the SysRq key on a keyboard I’ve used.
I have had a Pause/Break key and used to think they were the same thing, but now I’m not so sure.
Its the same as the Print Screen key.
