The best one I ever heard was 'We'll fly the plate (Jeppesen) and keep it loose'. from an old Canadian city father who taught me a lot.

The worst was an extended brief from a command trainee covering everything including taxiways and parking, but omitting high terrain on arrival, and the necessity for an immediate turn on the MAP to avoid spoiling the scenery.

For my 2cents, keep it short & simple, when you divert there will not be time for a life story. Practice at picking out the fundamentals, MSA , anything unusual about the approach or G/A, or your situation (Fuel, Tech. snags etc.) will ease the task for a quick concise brief for the unfortunate night (Yes it will almost certainly be night, trust me on this one!) when you end up diverting to somewhere you have never seen before you can't even pronounce, with no fuel.

Fly high, land low.
