My favourite hate is a typical Australian low cost airline PA by the captain, or F/O and always the FA's which is "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and girls". Even though there are no children aboard.
One captain on our company B737 flying across the South Pacific and with nothing to be seen apart from the occasional desert island (atoll), often came up with:
"We are flying at 35,000 feet and apart from occasional slight turbulence the weather is fine for the flight. For those interested in geography, on our left wing tip far over the horizon is England 12,000 miles way. On the right at 2000 miles is Honolulu and if you love the snow, then the Antartic is 4000 miles directly behind us on our tail".
The "occasional light turbulence" was designed to cover the typical South Pacific thunderstorms, and an occasional typhoon in the area.
And variations of the same. The feed back from passengers was very encouraging
