push back

The industry lingo for the action of pushing a commercial jet back from its gate. Among crew members and others working directly at the gates the term can be shortened to simply "push".

long form:
"Ground Control, United 1482 is ready for push back and taxi."
"Hurry up...RUN.....crap, look, they've already pushed back"

short form:
"Ok everyone we need your tush in a cush so we can 'push' and get this Boeing going!"
