Mode 3/A and C IFF Transponder is on. IFF (indentifcation friendly or foe) was developed by the military and adopted by GA for identification. Mode 3/A provides a 4 digit code up to the number 7777 assigned by a flight plan, 4032 different codes available. Mode C provides barometric altitude via an altitude encoder.
When a plane is given clearance to take off, they are told to 'squak xxxx' where xxxx is a 4 digit number assigned to their flight plan. the dog is barking.

Yeah I am just adding to what has already been said...
It is uncommon, unprofessional lingo.
When talking about squak codes, ATC would normally say something along the lines of "November 5351 Whisky, squak 2434" and the pilot woould respond by saying "Squaking 2434, November 5351 Whisky", but instead they say "The dog is barking", which is not the proper response. It really depends on what airport you are at. Bigger, busier airports typically stay more professional.

Transponder is on. It is used to typically convey a 4 number "ID" assigned by the tower, and altitude reporting. Other terms, are "squak" or "parrot"

I have never heard of it. Some of the terminology used on the radio is outdated. Like "Tally-hoe" .....you know its an old fart when you hear that.
