Have any of you read the AIM?

Seriously?

If I'm on the ramp WTF does hold short of the runway mean?

Taxi to the runway means something. Any taxi instructions will include the phrase "taxi to". Taxi instructions may INCLUDE a hold short, then "hold short" must re read back. A specific hold short instruction is given by the tower when you call ready for takeoff.

Have you seen the FAA airport diagrams. On there it says "All hold short instructions must be read back". Read it back when you are given a hold short instruction, Don't when you are not given it.
