Talking

A few years ago, I was taking a Mooney (aircraft not religious cult follower) to College Station, central Texas - the home airport for Texas A&M.

I joined left hand downwind and the controller said, "Mooney34X-ray, runway 10, you're cleared for the option!"

OPTION?

I'd never heard this before, downwind in a Mooney doesn't take too long but by the time I'd actually asked for clarification and deciphered all permutations I was almost in New Mexico!!
