After being here 3 months now I'll add a few contributions...

YKYIAW....

- the people in the flight planning office continually ask you if you have "brought them some water"

- you have seen and carried more money in cash than you are likely to make in your whole career

- you quit caring about birdstrikes, and focus more on monkey strikes

- a 'dogleg' runway/strip is one where you cant see the other end around the corner

- airport diagrams are regularly written on napkins

- air to air comms is done on the ATC frequency, totally bypassing the helpless 'controller'

- vectors received commonly put you into a) prohibited airspaces or b) terrain

...more to come.
