Topbug,
PAN PAN is used world wide, though I've never heard it on the frequency.

KPAX,
Personnally I feel that declaring an emergency because of an aborted take off is a bad procedure. You need to remember that when you declare an emergency that the tower may roll the emergency equipment which at every airport that I\'ve worked at CLOSES THE AIRPORT until the emergency is cancelled by the airport authority.
If you have a Hot Brake situation after an aborted takeoff, then here in the United States all you have to do is tell the controllers that you have Hot Brakes, and then let them know if you want a fire truck sent out to check. Upon your request the airfield fire department will dispatch a truck and they will check your brakes.
