On Sydney Gound not too long ago (most QANTAS aircraft are named after OZ ctiies or towns):
Ground: EAL give way to 767 city of Bundaberg outbound.
EAL: Roger
Ground: OGM your number one to the city of Geelong, taxy to holding point...
OGM: Roger, you've got good eyes!
Ground: Yeah, and I can see the gestures you're making at the tower.
OGM: It's not me, it's the bloke sitting next to me!
Ground: The one with the bad haircut?
OGM: Yeah.

Before my time but part of LGW legend:
Posh Pilot - "CFE8086 approaching taxiway 2" (but with at least 200m to run)
Northern ATCO - "Well keep on bloody approaching then!"
And the same guy having slighlty miscalculated a deprture gap...
"Take off quickly. Fly slowly!"

One of the controllers here occasionally says (off the frequency) when there is a whining pilot on the frequency :
"Would you like some cheese to go with that w(h)ine sir?"
AND
How about the slip of the tounge on Arrivals (me).
"XYZ123, Cleared ILS APP RWY 30L report likeloser established"
the next 6 or 7 aircraft all readback "LIKELOSER established"
Seemed funny at the time though !!

slip of the tongue...
the ones which still happen to me are:
hotel rolf gomeo (golf romeo...) and the classical "slide glope". but only when i'm really overstressed.
and last week heard twice a heading 365 in atc-sim . and in one, a fellow blipdriver read it back
cheers

Heard at Eastleigh:
"Navy Swordfish solent - report your a/c type"
After being told the local standby is for an RT fail a/c - "Tower fire 1 - once landed can you ask the a/c to contact us on 121.6"

Just recalled this gem from the aforementioned cockney wide boy whilst serving at the Gut.
Two French mirages in the circuit, first lands and the second is too tight behind, told to go round. Next approach, told to go round again to which he replies "Ev I 'ave to go 'round again I 'ave to jump out!" Quick as a flash our hero replies "Roger, understand you're fuel priority......."
