Heard the "Fully ready" thing before somewhere. Think it may be a Brit/Euro thing along the lines of being ready to enter the active runway and depart immediately with no lengthy wait while completing additional checklist items. Probably not a bad thing to notify ATC with other traffic waiting behind you and a couple of aircraft on the approach, rather than lining up and causing a couple of wave offs while you trundle through the checklist on the runway.
