Today’s phrase
No.1 お局(おつぼね)
お局 = an older woman (typically unmarried) that has worked in the office for a long time in the same position, who commands or leads others despite occupying a non-supervisory position, and who is perceived as intimidating and as frequently complaining.
=Straw boss / Ms. Bossy Pants

No.3 取り込む(とりこむ)
取り込む = install / take in / bring in
☟Examples(*あまり正しい使い方ではないです。)

No.5 ピリ辛(ぴりから)
ピリ辛 = ①a bit spicy ②harsh*
*Actually ピリ辛 doesn’t have the second meaning.
but I guess Kanta kinda created the meaning, which derives from 辛口(Karakuchi). 辛口 has two meanings①spicy ②harsh
