Here's one I've heard pilots jokingly use: Fox Five, for when you take the guy down by slamming your plane into his...
That reminds me of a joke I heard Senator McCain use during the campaign: "I once used my plane to shoot down a SAM. I thought it was a good shot..." I might not like his politics, but he does have a good sense of humor.
