The other example of non-standard phraseology which bugs me is vacating the runway after landing and requesting taxi. If you follow AIP phraseology, i.e.

"Bankstown Ground, (aircraft call‐sign) [parking area or bay number]"

.... inevitably ground will get agro and ask what your position on the aerodrome is. Fair enough if they don't know where you are, but it means we either need to change the AIP or figure out a system which doesn't involve ATC getting agro at the poor old pilots.
The latest edition of Tarmac Topics (RACWA's mag) has the Mgr Flt Ops saying the call is (my bolding):

"Jandakot Ground, Foxtrot Alpha Sierra, on Golf, for the Southern Apron".
