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 and five

In R/T (radio telephone) parlance, a report on signal strength (1 - 5) and quality (1 - 5).

Hence, "I ready you two and four" means "your signal is weak, but I can hear you clearly".

By inference, "five and five" means "really good" ?

"How's the pizza ?"
"Five and five."

"We dropped into <drinking establishment> - the beer was crap, but the scenery was five and five."

Before this phrase was used on Buffy, it was used on Jag, episode 10 from season 1. Austin spoke it to Rabb while she was in the hospital room.
This episode aired a whole year before Buffy season one hit tv.
