Personally, I like to be phraseologically correct and attempt to sound professional, yet, as I tire it becomes a chore. There is a time and a place for slang and such, and it can be pretty amusing. I will say this: when I hear some dipshit 'corporate' guy using 'Sugar' instead of 'Sierra' and saying the letters normally instead of phonetically, I just want to shoot those numbnuts.


I do know a guy whose been known to check in with information 'Llama' though, and it just cracks me up!!!!!!:laugh:

OMG, if I hear , "Here we go" when they tell you to start down...I am gonna....well...there isn't anything I can do...but you sound stupid when you say that.

And the...."Guinness 455 is taking runway 14...." Where are you taking the runway Guinness? We might need it later

I laugh every time I hear that. It's always said like they are about to go into a burning building to save a baby. Come on buddy, you just dialed in a new altitude and hit a button (heck, most of you boeing drivers don't even have to pull the power back). I'm going to start handing out medals to these guys.

I've sometimes been guilty of reading back the mechanized pronunciations when giving the ATIS code.... Information Faxtrrrot, Information Wikki...
