It's a CAP413 thing. The word is 'final', not 'finals'; there is no such term as 'short final (or finals)' - and 'long final' is more than 4nm from touchdown.

Isn't it time we all used the same terms on the RT? Overshoot or go-around?

And as for "Sir, ahhhh, request high speed ahhhhh gear up low approach to pitch into the closed" - Yank-speak for run-in and break - words fail me!

Have a good day - missing y'all ready.....
