I would say, in the cockpit, "Take Off Checklist complete. Lineup and wait."...for the same safety reason you specified. Also, on taxi, if we need to cross a runway to get to the takeoff runway, but we are not cleared yet to cross, I will state "We will not cross any runways"...for safety reasons. Then, we we get clearance, I will repeat, in the cockpit, "Cleared to cross runway xxx".
