during flights instead of turbulence? I was just on my first international flight with an American airline (Delta), and I don't ever remember hearing this before. Found is sounding odd. Anyone else notice this? |

This just reminds me of George Carlin's many, many routines on euphemisms and the perversion of straight and direct language. Is "turbulence" too big a word to use? I think we all know what turbulence is. Meanwhile, rough air sounds like it could be something one experiences after eating Taco Bell. |

Pilots also use to say "smoke em if you got em" and had in flight competitions on who had the longest knife. |
