as I understand it - TYRO is a military term so more used by the military LARS people although non-military FISOs should understad it as well. I've certainly used it in the past and I think the controllers appreciate a heads up that they have a newbie inbound so they relayed messages more slowly and were more understanding for the occasional mistake.
Totally agree with the previous post - if you're not sure abut something - ask. And ask in plain English if it makes things easier. The objective is mutual understanding between you and ATC of what you need to do in order to naivgate and land safely. If that means abandoning CAP 413 for a minute - fine.
