That's out of courtesy to the captain not because I haven't a clue to what's going on.
I tell FO's at the start to go ahead and call for push, taxi, etc when we're obviously ready to go and waiting for something to happen. I'm lazy, saves me having to constantly state the obvious. I'll speak up if I need more time.
Otherwise most wait to be told, which is probably appropriate with most CA's.
