The correct call is ready and saying fully ready makes not an ounce of difference to your state of readiness, ready is ready, and the correct call is a more abbreviated call. And I really don't think ATC is going to say "quick, bump him up in the queue, he's "FULLY READY." Fully ready is just stupid.
I agree with you, I was just trying to be fully funny!
