Death Pencil - can you see the grin on my face...?

For heaven's sake, I know all airlines have their jargon, and codes, and...
But seriously, while Vga is clear to you, I call it Vref+10.
I think Vref+10 could be understood by (almost) any pilot.
We all agreed to spique incliche... But often need to translate each other.
Some of us speak Aussie, Kiwi, Yank, Pom's Cockney or from Yorkshire.
Then we impress ourselves with our own airline's jargon. I smile...!
At PanAm we had Vref, Vat and Vth (V Tresh)...
We had bar fights with TW guys (Tiny Weenies).
TW said "Landing Preliminary Ck-List", we call these Approach Ck-List.
And avoided Speedbird guys, their mustaches dipping in warm beer.

Hey, even in my rocking chair, I love to learn... but let me smile.
Go for Vga then. And cheers for a Vic Bitter...
Now I know how to spique engliche to a QF pilot...

Happy contrails
