Personally, I never call "clear prop" because the people who really need to understand the call are any Joe Public's who happen to be near your aircraft. We all know what it means, but the phrase "clear prop" may not actually make any sense to a layman who might just stand still wondering "what did that mean?". Many people wouldn't immediately realise that the word "prop" is short for "propeller".
Instead, I call "stand clear" in a loud voice. Nobody can fail to understand that, surely?
