This comes from the French word m'aidez - meaning "help me" - and is pronounced "mayday." (Note: not exactly.... it's pronounced "med-ay", but close enough) Best used for emergencies ONLY as a reader here might have thought you were buried in a pile of rubble and needed help LMAOPMP -- 73- Cambio - Keyboard To You |
