I think I almost got a full house of ****e radio calls when listening to a recent soliloquy:

"Traffic XXXXX, IFR King Air, 40 DME GPS South of the field, descending from airways on descent to 3000, estimating the circuit at time 35, traffic XXXXX"

Clearly Little Man syndrome, who wanted to impress us lowly local traffic with details of his equipment, including its installation, the fact that he'd been flying SO high (because he can) and to top his ineptitude with 'time'. I think I'll start ending my calls with an estimate in bananas; it's an extraneous and bulls*#t transmission so maybe it'll catch on
