Narrative:

We had just pushed back from the gate. Ramp agents disconnected without using standard calls. I called for taxi clearance, which was received. I then noticed the aircraft was slowly drifting forward and personnel were still working under nose. I called stop! And the captain stopped the aircraft. The ramp man called, said his people were still under aircraft, but that everything was ok. Problems: non standard call with ramp agent, we were doing a 15 min scheduled turn and were in a hurry. I need to wait to call for taxi clearance after all personnel have cleared aircraft, as the taxi clearance implies the aircraft is clear which may not be true.
