When I started flying at age 17, I had already been listening on the ATC frequencies for quite some time.
Funniest I ever heard was ....
Good afternoon Los Angeles tower, Speedbird 591 at the outer marker.
...a long pause, then the tower replies...
Ahhhh, what kind of bird is that at the outer marker?
No reply.
Then the tower says...
Whatever bird that is at the outer marker, you are cleared to land, 25L.
It got better, later on.
When Speedbird 592 was ready to depart, it was....
Good evening tower, Speedbird 592 ready for departure.
Hello Speedbird 592, cleared for takeoff 25L.
...a long pause...
Ahhhh tower, just so you know, 592 will use every bit of the 12,000 feet ahead, please don't be alarmed.
The tower replied...
We never get excited 592, we've all had three martini's for lunch.
An absolutely 100% true story, as I was there in my DC-6B and heard it firsthand.
591/592 by the way, was the LHR-LAX vv B707-436 nonstop flight, and yes it used every bit of 12.000 feet to get airbourne....as I found out later flying some of these very same aeroplanes, after they had been sold by BOAC.
Relax and enjoy the flying...the radio procedure will become second nature before long.
