Okay, I feel insulted now.
This the nautical flag for the letter M. And using that military alphabet that calls all letters by a word beginning with that letter, this flag is known as "Mike."You probably know that these flags are flown on boats and ships to spell out various messages, but it turns out that each flag has a meaning assigned to it when it is flown singly, not part of a word.
And Mike flying alone means "My vessel is stationary and not underway."
It's like they knew me!
There are other flags that have people's names attached. Charlie means simply "yes." Juliet means "Fire on board; keep your distance." Oscar means "man overboard," and Victor means "I require assistance."
