I heard it on the JFK ATC frequencies, but I had no idea what was actually going on!!

That sounds so cute though. Everyone was told to stop their engines because it was going to be quite a wait.
Except...
"Mesaba 2440! ...Well, you keep moving because you're on the runway."

The controller was a bit of an ass as well, to be honest

"Delta 484, hold short of 22R."
"Short of 22R!"
"With the callsign please, Delta 484."

Come on! It's American culture! It's one of the things I noticed was different between America and Australia, things are a lot more laid back.

"Cross rwy 13R at Kilo."
"31R at Kilo."
"Get the readback correct!! 13R!"

Really? There is need to say it like that?

[aubreynoramarie]

Yep lol. What got you into runway jargon?

 

[whiteflare]

I can't remember. I've been slightly interested in planes ever since I was a kid... but once I found the ATC stuff, seriously. It's fun, like BYC!

You keep going back.
