How about these:

Airspace Conflict
A near mid-air collision, intrusion, or violation of airspace rules.

Maintenance Deficiency
An equipment defect or failure which affects or could affect the safety of operations, or that causes an interruption to the services being performed.

Dead Reckoning
You reckon correctly, or you are.

Drag Chute
Emergency escape slide near copilot's window. Opens automatically if eccentric male captain shows up in women's clothes.

Angle of Attack
Pick-up lines that pilots use.

Exceptional Flying Ability
Has equal number of takeoffs and landings.

Final Approach
1. Last pass a pilot makes at the opposite sex before giving up.
2. Many a seasoned pilot's last landing.
3. Many a student pilot's first landing.

Flashlight
Tubular metal container kept in flight bag for storing dead batteries.

Glider
Formerly "airplane," prior to running out of fuel.

Arctic Frost
Attitude shown by uncooperative flight attendant.

Certificated Aircraft
One that has all hazardous features camouflaged.

Jet-assisted Takeoff
1. A rapid-takeoff procedure used by a general aviation pilot who suddenly finds himself taking off on a runway directly in front of a departing 747.
2. Takeoff by pilot who ordered enchiladas for lunch at the airport coffee shop.

Induced Drag
When a male copilot is persuaded by a kinky female flight attendant to put on women's clothes against his will.

Official monthly required aviation reports from all Naval/Marine units. TFOA, Things Falling Off Aircraft. Biggest I've ever seen was an overwing fairing from an F-14B, about 160 lbs. Hate to be under that one.

Party like it's $19.99

From hence forth, all landing accidents are now referred to as PLBJ - Parachute Landed Before Jumper.

If you think the press gets it wrong now...

I couple of ones that I like:

Popeye - means you're in the clouds and you can't see S#it.

no joy - means you're not in the clouds but you still don't see the other plane

dipsy doodle - the maneuver of a shallow climb, then zero G pushover an SR-71 does to accelerate past Mach 1 before climbing to high altitude.

Example "Aspen 71, cleared dipsy doodle, climb and maintain flight level six zero zero."

Military aviation terms are every bit as good.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
