Without knowing any semaphore, you are looking for a well known phrase or saying which has the form ABCD EAA - the last two letters of the second word are the same as the first letter in the first word. If you can't get it from that, you should jolly well scarper and do so effectively, efficiently and promptly. Just sayin'.

You cracked the code.

Code? Hell, I just read the signs.

It was much less complicated.

The wit never flags, do it?

I see I still remember my Boy Scout semaphore, and I don't have to give back my Eagle badge.

I have fond memories of my semaphore year at college.

Plenty of positive signals?

Not just positive, some were amorphous.




ETA: Ah, yes....fondle memories....

ASL and other interpreters would have been redundant and probably unwelcome.

When I was a scout, I chose to learn Morse Code rather than semaphore.

Electronics and radio were what I saw in my future.
