five by five

Loud and clear. From military erminology. Old radios had two readings. Loudness and clarity rated from 0-5. Thus five by five means literally loud and clear.

How's my signal?

Five by five.

five by five

Term meaning everything is OK.

The term comes from old radio slang. When communicating over radio, the operator would report the strength and clarity of the signal on a scale of 1 to 5 each. Therefore, if a radio operator described the signal as "five by five" it meant it was both loud and clear.

I don't use the phrase "five by five" because they use it on Buffy.

five-by-five

Originally an aeronautical term that is the equivalent to the modern "Loud & Clear". In slang usage, it means "great, fine"; popular in New England, it was made famous in "Buffy: the Vampire Slayer" from its overuse by the rogue slayer Faith.

"No worries, B. That vamp tried to kill us but I got mad skills. We're five-by-five here."

five-for-five

Taking someone to school in the art of foos by scoring on five consecutive shots -- the more variety the better. This is especially effective when done in the context of a booking, or when capped by a money shot.

Ain't nothing like going five-for-five against Pooch, nearly putting his eye out with the money shot.
