We say: "OK, what did we miss?" [BTW, I am not employed by NASA, but by a
major aerospace corporation who supports them]

y'all *is* plural. "All y'all" is used sometimes, but y'all is sufficient
in the above circumstance, according to Webster. :-)

Informally, when asked what I do (when among friends), I sometimes respond
with a grin that I am a rocket scientist (which is my wife's cue to roll
her eyes). In less informal circumstances I'd never do it. I saw somebody
introduce herself as a "Rocket Scientist" once in a defensive driving
class near Johnson Space Center. Considering several in the class could
have referred to themselves the same way, it sort of lost its impact -
even made me cringe.
