I don't know what TIGGO and BITTY are supposed to sound like but I can be pretty slow sometimes.
Ever been in the midwest with some country corn fed hicks that have been drinking.

I did not even have to look twice. I knew what it meant, and that is how i spell most of the time.

Hmm...I would have to say no to that. I guess this NYC-native will never know what TIGGO and BITTY mean LoL

I guess New yorkers are new yorkers

I am just country.

You remember how we talked in ground school. we told the class all about the pigs and the cows, and I can remember a few of you in there that had no idea what a combine was, or what corn looked like in the field

I'm 99.9% sure that fix is called REKKS, unless they changed it. Why am I so sure? Look below REKKS the next time on the visual, you'll see a huge (large anyway) rock quarry, granite I think. Hence the Dino term Rekks, as in T-Rex.

MCO has typical Disney fixes, including MINNE, but they're a carnal bunch down there too (ATC). Look for DOWNN, right before MOANS, on the MCO arrival (forget which one) from the S and SW. FLOZE is nearby as well. We got direct DOWNN, then MOANS, and me as PNF with a hottie ex-FA FO. I tried to read it back all dirty like, but flubbed it as I was laughing too much! I of course then told my FO to go DOWNN, then MOANS, and it was perfectly legit!

I'm from the San Joaquin valley in California, so there are plenty of farms to go around. I get combine and know what corn looks like but not those words. I think I have heard BITTY used to refer to a... girl?

Oh... I think I got it. Yeah I'm pretty sure I got it. You didn't tell me you had to switch letters around.

I couldn't believe no one mentioned "INBRD" either!

And on the same flight plan (IAH - JAX) - "MULET" in Georgia on the TAY2 arrival into JAX!
