Having read this thread smoothest aircraft landings ever it got me wondering what favourite expressions people have when they pull off a really smooth landing. My own favourite for what it’s worth (and unfortunately it doesn’t apply to enough landing) is “I must have been a bird in an earlier life”.
“Shelling peas”
When I pull off a greaser, most people say “my fillings just came out”.
Usually only my worse landings get commented with a wearily “hmpf”.
My expression?
WTF!
Don’t have one because it’s so rare

Agreed. I normally express surprise.
That felt strange, wonder what I did wrong :)
I think I had more greesers as a student than as a PPL! Probably becasue as a student, I hadn’t really developed the perceptions enough. Now it would take a much smoother landing to count as a greeser, which rarely happens as I like to land as short as possible to keep in practice with my short field landings. That really doesn’t help make them smooth.
But I suppose if it did, “Are we there yet?” might be appropriate!
The expression I use is not for public so I’ll refrain from posting.
