Rather sadly, aviation has followed the ways of the world and invented lots of fancy words, phrases, acronyms etc. Half the time, also rather sadly, half the people [at least] haven't a clue what is meant by the fancy words etc and the sensible people manage quite well without them!

Since the introduction of radar into the ATC world, controllers have vectored aircraft without any need for fancy descriptions.

Jobs for the boys [and girls] perhaps?
