I was enroute from Marriana, Florida to Orlando, Florida and between 7500 and below the intermittent turbulence was getting pretty rough with the day time heating. Here is what transpired:

Female pilot: callisign to Orlando approach.
Orlando Approach: calling this is Orlando, go ahead.
Female Pilot: Can we request an altitude change and try 5000, we are getting our tit's bounced around pretty good up here.
Orlando approach: (Giggling) Callsign, altitude request of 5000 approved.

My wife looked at me and said "did she just say what I thought I heard". I laughed and told her she heard it correctly. It was really comical at the time and broke up the moment while also fighting the updrafts and turbulence.
