There is a long thread on this on a certain other place that concerns flying little planes with a mix of outrage from some GA pilots and enlightenment from others, that people should use such terms when flying in 'GA' and not 'Military' airspace. For some people, being an ex-mil pilot winds them up no end before you've even got past the 'hello how are you' stage... Maybe previous offerings of pomposity have wound them up or maybe its just resentment at not having made it into the RAF. Either way, an awareness of different ways of skinning a cat and that others may not understand the words you use may be the way forward...
Or just join for a break to land every time...
