Also don’t hear many guys complain about rides any more than any other airline. The other day UPS was complaining about two different altitudes. He said constant bumps and light turb.
That probably would’ve made the OPs head explode.

I’m thinking I might start, while in cruise, calling on guard and saying there is some light chop on final can I get a wind check and then immediately responding to myself, ON GUARD. And then doing it again every so often.
Or maybe I’ll make a pirep for light chop... on guard.

Just report smooth, or if you are compelled to say light chop, use a prefix like occasional, or intermittent.
Let's get some accurate variety in turbulence reporting. For goodness sake, Delta prides themselves on being the best, show it by using terminology out of the AIM.

Want to report that in several places on the west coast and across Texas tonight ATC said there was light chop at various altitude. Several aircraft, not Delta, reported light chop.
So... Light chop. And a wind check on final.
