I am so disappointed you missed an opportunity for an Aliens refrence @elonmusk Let me remedy that for you. 🚁 "In The Pipe 5 by 5" - Ferro, Aliens (1986) 😎 "in the pipe" is from the English idiom (a figurative expression) "in the pipeline" that means "in the process" or "somewhere in a process or pathway." In short, under way or in process. Originally, the usage was in the petroleum industry -- then in general commerce often in the sense of orders that are backed up in a pathway (No more new orders will be shipped for a while because of too many orders in the pipeline). "Five by five" is a standard radio telecommunications expression, and also heavily transplanted into non-radio usage. It means the best readability (the first "five") and signal strength (the second "five"). So five by five is basically the best -- "loud and clear."
