Oh dear. I thought it was just me...
My 16-year-old lad is sick of me asking him to "Call when ready" when I'm giving him a lift somewhere and waiting to leave the house.
I often ask my wife to "squawk ident." when I don't know which room she's in.
"Report Cabin Secure" used to feature lots when I had a nine-seat 4x4 chock-full of ankle-biters.
Sadly, reversing out of a parking bay is often referred to as "push-back". This seems bizarre when used in the car park at Aldi. (Her) "What are you waiting for?". (Me) "I'm waiting for that Mini to come out of the cul-de-sac, then I'll be clear to push". Sadly spotterish.
I actually find the phrases usefully concise and precise.
