On one of my recurrent sim rides a couple years ago, the IP threw us a problem that required me to call the aft F/A station (I think it was a cargo smoke alarm or something), so I pick up the intercom handset and call the back. The IP is playing the part of the aft F/A, so he answers with;
"This is Dick in the Rear..."
I was laughing so hard he had to freeze the sim until I got it together.
We had one that predated my employment that called all male FAs "Tailgunner". One friend in the sim after an engine failure picked up the phone to notify the back and stated "pilot to tailgunner" before getting whacked with a rolled up USA Today.
