Backstory

I was holding short #1 full length 22R at KEWR, we had about 6 departures ahead of us during an afternoon push.  This was the exchange between the tower and 2 aircraft.

Paraphrasing:
Pilot 1 "What kind of airplane is taking the runway, what is the aircraft type?"

TWR "It is an EMB 170, It's like an under developed 737"

Pilot 2 "Unreadable" I recall the EMB pilot saying something along the lines of "yeah but she's prettier"

TWR "Aa who doesn't like the younger and prettier one!"
