Who's 'we'?

I've flown with the USAF, and it uses "Bailout" as the command to eject. It uses "Egress" as the command to unstrap and get out in a ground emergency.

I have also flown with the US Navy and seem to recall they used the exact same terminology, but I stand ready to be corrected.

The RAF uses "Eject".

Honestly, if you're going to be such a pedant, get your own stuff right first!
