Report him anyway. Adcoms aren't above reproach. Be vague if it makes you more comfortable: "My second interviewer etc etc."

I agree 100%. This is the only way we can get rid on bad interviewers. SDNers should remember that when you go on interviews, you're interviewing the school as much as they're interviewing you (after all, you going to spend the next four years and some $250K there), and so this type of interviewer hurts the school.

I was interviewing for MSTP and the faculty was a PhD, so at least he won’t be that way to patients

We Faculty make a big deal about professionalism for our students; we should also live up to that ourselves.

applicant: "This school is totes cool and seems legit. Interviewing with you was lit".

So saying "Your school is n00by and you're just a n00blet" would be a turn off?

My interpreter doesn't translate words, he only does the non-verbal hand signs to show what I'm saying.

applicant : "this school is totes amazing, and that tie is the shizznit".
