.......I would say, in the cockpit, "Take Off Checklist complete. Lineup and wait."...for the same safety reason you specified.
These both contain those dangerous words: "take-off". In that situation I just say "Checks complete, line-up
only."
(When seating the cabin crew, I never say "take-off" either; I say "Cabin crew, seats for departure please."
I avoid saying the phrase "take-off" until we are actually cleared by ATC to do so.
