Thanks everyone for more bits of banter! Everything is being put down meticulously in my nice little file.
Could you guys clear up some of the slang I've come across:

1) Home itus - is this some sort of a feeling a pilot has when close to his home airport and it can sort of obscure his judgment during approach making him land just because he is so impatient to get home even though it could be dangerous? "Itus" is something Latin or some perverted English word? Could not fugure it out.


2) FOQA, CPDLC - was not able to figure out these two acronyms.


3) Front office - is a slangy synonym for the flight deck?


4) coffin corner - have no idea what that could be.
