The few occasions that I manage a greaser are when I am alone in the aeroplane and nobody is watching, so my normal expression is “WTF, what a waste!”

There’s no mention of “greaser” landings in my AFM but in any case, it’s best to say nowt until the old bird is safely tucked up in her shed.

I had an instructor from the RAF who used to say “cats piss on velvet”.
