Airport Lingo.

I just wanted to share a little airport lingo with you that you might have overheard from airport Employees on their radios. "What's your 20?"... most commonly means where are you? or what's your location? "Copy that" or "Roger that" means I understand or I got it. Or, the most misused phrase I've heard... "direct flight" (this means the flight makes at least one stop between origin and final destination). Nonstop means nonstop. Direct means the flight makes a stop without a connection. Does anyone have any jargon from their profession that they wanna share?
