We must not forget Civvy air traffickers who waffle for Britain because they have plenty of time to talk bo**ocks.
Likewise Spam pilots tend to talk crap too. Here is an a example of such a crap conversion-
"Garlick46 would like er after the er low approach to go around and er circle to 24 for the option then request diverse vectors back to er Liberty and a handoff to er Lon Mil for a GCA at Lakenheath for the full stop.
Cheers Mr Septic Tank, clear for that manoeuvre, squawk 7000 and have a nice day!

Not sure if this is the correct place to tell this.
Early 80s, outbound from ABZ to offshore facility in S61. Two other helicopters inbound, and ATC tells one, "I've just had a pop up. I think it's a bunch of geese."
Ist inbound replies, "I think you'll find that geese come in flocks."
2nd inbound adds, "I think you'll find that they come in gaggles."
My co-pilot can't contain himself, and bursts out, "And if they come in tins, they're fois gras."
Had to be there.

Oy teeteringhead, best leave that hat ON, considering you even knew that alleged fact about airborne geese! Must be a little-known term; everyone knows the 'gaggle' bit, but the only skein I've ever heard of is a skein of wool.
Go on, did you make it up?
Having said that, I'll happily stand corrected if it's true.
PS: Wouldn't it be more correct to say that ganders come in geese?
